Severity: wishlist

While splitting a package into smaller parts, I came accross a little
problem: the old package installed logcheck files, and I wanted to move
those to the new one, keeping the filename.
For logrotate, I could do this easily, as dh_installlogrotate supports a
--name option, so that my debian/$package.$name.logrotate gets installed
as /etc/logrotate.d/$name (instead of as $package). I wanted to do the
same with dh_installlogcheck, but unfortunately, that helper has no such
feature.
Attached below is a trivial patch that adds the option, along with
documentation (might need a little rewording, perhaps, but this is the
best I could do at the moment), against debhelper's git head.

Subject: [PATCH] dh_installlogcheck: Add support for --name.
This patch makes dh_installlogcheck be similar to other helpers, like
dh_installlogrotate that already support a --name option: to install
the files as if they were installed by a different package.
