Package: debhelper
Version: 5.0.35
Severity: wishlist
Many packages are relying on debhelper compatibility mode 4 in
dh_install, to have the ability to install files only if they are
available, by adding a wildcard at the end of the line.
The new behavior of mode 5 is really useful, but there should still be a
way to have optional installation. For example, the following syntax
could be used:
debian/tmp/usr/lib/lib*.so.*
-debian/tmp/usr/lib/i686
The latter line would fail when the directory isn't available, but the
failure would be ignored because of the leading dash.
It's just an example syntax, but I like it and I'm sure you get the
idea.
Cheers,
