The glob you specified seems to work for me:

$ touch foo.1.html foo.html bar.1.html bar.html
$ perl -e 'my @foo = glob "*[a-z].html"; print "@foo\n";'
bar.html foo.html
$ perl -e 'my @foo = glob "./*[a-z].html"; print "@foo\n";'
./bar.html ./foo.html

So there is probably something other than glob issues at work.

I suggest modifying your copy of dh_install to add some print
statements to debug this.
