Actually, the recommended way to "copy" files from your upstream
source location to the debian/<package> directory would be to use
dh_install. Even better than calling dh_install directly from rules
would be to use an "install" file in the debian/ directory which has
things of the form
<upstream file/directory> <destination>
For example, for the package foo, if I want to install
foo-1.2/bar/file1 to /usr/share/foo/bar file1, my install file woul
have an entry like:
bar/file1 usr/share/foo
Or if you want to copy the directory foo-1.2/common-files to
/usr/share/foo/common-files, you can add an entry like:
common-files usr/share/foo
etc. Read man dh_install for details. Also dh_installdocs,
dh_installexamples and dh_install<whatever> for more nie stuff.
HTH.
