So we should use dh_install simply for all the files necessary!

Yes, but this is only to have the stuff in the right place for the tpm
files. Since none of the libkpathsea stuff is in tpms, we don't care for
this and use dh_install.

useless.

We don't need it for libkpathsea, only for the tpms.

Combination from those two? Add a file
texlive-bin/debian/libkpathsea4.install
listing all the files to be installed, then all in the rules(.in)
dh_install
That should be enough.

MILWAUKEE (n.)
The melodious whistling, chanting and humming tone of the milwaukee
can be heard whenever a public lavatory is entered. It is the way the
occupants of the cubicles have of telling you there's no lock on their
door and you can't come in.
