-Note that if you are generating a debian package that has arch-indep and
-arch-dependent portions, and you are using dh_movefiles to move the
-arch-indep files out of debian/tmp, you need to make sure that dh_movefiles
-does this even if only the arch-dependent package is being built (for ports
-to other architectures). I handle this in debian/rules.multi by calling
-dh_movefiles in the install target.
