Hi,
I thought I had links in this ... alas, I was wrong.
Thanks for reminding me.

So far very good.

This last part does not fit well. Since this is described at the top of
chaper as:
Any debhelper configuration files without a package prefix, such as
install, apply to the first binary package. When there are many binary
packages, their configurations can be specified by prefixing their name
to their configuration filenames such as package-1.install,
package-2.install, etc.
So I will exclude this part.
