If you look at the release notes of 3.5.0 (they were posted here too)
you'll see that this change is intended. So if you want the extra
suppression files, you will need to copy them manually. The specific
note said:
"- Previously, all the distributed suppression (*.supp) files were
installed. Now, only default.supp is installed. This should not
affect users as the other installed suppression files were not
read; the fact that they were installed was a mistake."
