Yes, that works too (and I've done it in my packages):

Use ‘dh_install’ to install the non-program files to the correct
location under ‘/usr/share/foopackage/’, and then create symlinks in the
program directories where the program is looking.

The non-program files are in the right location, the program can
continue to be ignorant of the filesystem layout, and you didn't have to
patch any code.
