Hi,
I cannot reproduce the issue from the instructions provided. Not saying
there is not a bug, but I need more guidance to identify the bug.
"""
$ mkdir -p bar/usr/bin
$ touch bar/usr/bin/foo
$ dh_install --sourcedir bar -pdebhelper usr/bin/foo -v
cp --reflink=auto -a bar/usr/bin debian/debhelper//usr/
cp --reflink=auto -a bar/usr/bin/foo debian/debhelper//usr/bin/
"""
Given that omitting --sourcedir "fixes" your issue, then I suspect you
might find #666741 relevant. But it is far older than buster...
Thanks,
