This uses debian/tmp-<package> as the package build directory.
+Miscellaneous notes:
+-------------------
+
+Some of the dh_* programs (dh_installdirs in particular, I have not checked
+the rest), will let you pass $PACKAGE to them and it will be expanded into
+the package name they are operating on. For example:
+
+ dh_installdirs -a 'usr/doc/$PACKAGE'

+debhelper (0.26) unstable; urgency=low
+
+ * dh_installdirs: Do not create usr/doc/$PACKAGE directory. Bug #15498
+ * README: documented that $PACKAGE can be used in the arguments to some of
+ the dh_* programs (#15497).
+ * dh_du.1: no, this is not really the dh_md5sums man page (#15499).

A file named debian/dirs (for the first binary package in debian/control),
or debian/package.dirs (for each additional package in debian/control) can
-list other directories to be created. Seperate the directory names with
+list other directories to be created. Separate the directory names with
whitespace.
.P
Be sure to only use directory names relative to the package build
