Although, honestly, you could always do this in debian/rules with
override_dh_auto_install:
debian/libfoo.install.sh > debian/libfoo.install
dh_install;
so besides the breakage generated by extraneously executable
libfoo.install files, not much has changed in terms of obfuscation.
That said, explicitly calling the appropriate script to generate the
install file before the various dh_* bits were engaged is a bit
clearer.

A people living under the perpetual menace of war and invasion is very
easy to govern. It demands no social reforms. It does not haggle over
expenditures on armaments and military equipment. It pays without
discussion, it ruins itself, and that is an excellent thing for the
syndicates of financiers and manufacturers for whom patriotic terrors
are an abundant source of gain.
