Subject: debhelper: dh_install takes filenames as absolute if debian/package.install starts with a slash

Date: Fri, 30 Jun 2017 07:30:41 +0200

Package: debhelper
Version: 10.6
Severity: grave

If debian/package.install has lines that start with a slash, dh_install
takes those as absolute filenames.  I have just tried to build the
giflib package, and dh_install copied whole trees of the /usr directory
into the package build directories until it ran out of disk space
(building on a tmpfs).

| /usr/lib/*/*.a
| /usr/lib/*/*.so
| /usr/lib/*/*.so.*
