What I don't understand is why is the behavior different when one builds arch:all + arch:any package and when one builds only arch:any. I use the minimal rule file which, aiui, install files using root as debian/$package/ when building with: dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -us -uc -B installing ur.gmo as /build/buildd/xfce4-dict-0.4.0/debian/xfce4-dict/usr/share/locale/ur/LC_MESSAGES/xfce4-dict.mo But the same rule files, when building using: dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -us -uc, installs stuff in debian/tmp installing ur.gmo as /home/corsac/debian/sources/xfce4-dict-0.4.0/debian/tmp/usr/share/locale/ur/LC_MESSAGES/xfce4-dict.mo So maybe the problem is not in dh_install at all, but still the DESTDIR isn't consistent wether I use -B or not.
