Package: debhelper
Version: 5.0.35
Severity: normal
The man page for dh_install says on the subject of --autodest:
Strip off debian/tmp (or the sourcedir if one is given) from the front of
the filename, if it is present,
I tried this in a random package but it doesn't do that:
dh_install -ptidy --sourcedir=debian/tmp --autodest
cp: cannot stat `debian/tmp//debian/tmp/usr/bin/tidy': No such file or directory
$ cat debian/tidy.install
debian/tmp/usr/bin/tidy
debian/tidy.conf /etc/tidy/
$ ll debian/tmp/usr/bin/tidy
-rwxr-xr-x 1 peter peter 44674 2006-06-06 19:45 debian/tmp/usr/bin/tidy
This seems to be precisely the situation this option was designed for,
but I don't see it doing what it is claiming to do.
