+List the files to install into each package and the directory they should be
+installed to. The format is a set of lines, where each line lists a file or
+files to install, and at the end of the line tells the directory it should be
+installed in. The name of the files (or directories) to install should be given
+relative to the current directory, while the installation directory is given
+relative to the package build directory. You may use wildcards in the names of
+the files to install (in v3 mode and above).
