[Bug 1554979] Re: dh_install --exclude flag not working

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package debhelper - 10.10.9ubuntu1

---------------
debhelper (10.10.9ubuntu1) bionic; urgency=medium

  * Merge from current Debian unstable.  Remaining changes:
    - Generate ddebs from debhelper instead of pkg-create-dbgsym
      + Make debhelper Conflict/Replace pkg-create-dbgsym to force it off.
      + Set DBGSYM_PACKAGE_TYPE to ddeb to get correct debian/files output.
    - dh_installchangelogs: Do not install upstream changelog in compat
      level 7 and higher to avoid pointlessly bloating installed packages.

debhelper (10.10.9) unstable; urgency=medium

  [ Dmitry Shachnev ]
  * qmake.pm: Add missing import of generated_file.
  * meson.pm: Find typo of meson in the name of the cross config
    file.
  * qmake.pm: Push compiler information as ‘early’ flags to qmake, to
    make sure qmake calls the right compiler to get library paths.
  * qmake.pm: Add all possible settings to generated qmake-cross.conf.
    Now output of ‘qmake -query’ with and without using this file is
    identical. This makes cross-building Qt’s own modules possible.

  [ Niels Thykier ]
  * dh_missing: Permit a missing debian/tmp without failing in
    compat 11 when debian/tmp is an implicit source directory.
    Thanks to Christoph Biedl for reporting the bug.
    (Closes: #882083)
  * dh_missing: Improve the wording about "debian/not-installed".
