Confused by <foo>.dirs, <foo>.install etc
I have a problem building a library, starting with a dh_make template.
The basic problem seems to boil down to files don't get moved from
DESTDIR (debian/tmp) into the actual packages, so the final *.deb
packages are empty.
It seems like the <foo>.dirs and <foo>.install files in debian/ are
something to do with this process. However I cannot find where in
Debian policy these are documented ...
Any pointers?
Rich.
