What is (the?) recommended way to have DebHelper build, from one source

Debian Policy §12.3 says, of “Additional documentation”:
dh_installdocs has a --doc-main-package switch which references this
policy section.

Related, the default is for `debhelper` to follow §12.3 out of the box
based on heuristic. It is entirely possible the correct cause of action
is to do nothing at all.
