dh_movefiles uses the same library every other debhelper command uses to
determine what packages to act on.
dh_listpackages will tell you what packages every debhelper command is
acting on.
You may want the -s flag.
-s, --same-arch
This is a smarter version of the -a flag, that is
used in some rare circumstances. It understands
that if the control file lists "Architecture: i386"
for the package, the package should not be acted on
on other architectures. So this flag makes the com-
mand act on all "Architecture: any" packages, as
well as on any packages that have the current
architecture explicitly specified. Contrast to the
-a flag, which makes the command work on all pack-
ages that are not architecture independant.
