Package: debhelper
Version: 7.4.2
Severity: normal

Hi,

with compat level 7, dh_install will fall back to look for files in
debian/tmp. It's the only dh_install* command that behaves that way
though. Imo all[1] dh_install* commands should behave consistently and fall
back to look for files in debian/tmp, i.e. behave like dh_install

Thanks for considering.

Michael

[1] Well, the ones that allow to specify a file list, like e.g.
dh_installman, dh_installinfo,  dh_installdocs or dh_installexamples
