Adding non-package, system data files

Hi,

I'm struggling to find where to place, or how to include system files.
For example I have this <package>.install file

etc/mypkg.uwsgi.ini /etc/uwsgi/apps-enabled
etc/default_config.json /var/lib/mypkg.default.json

However, the rules file sets the source directory to be: debian/mypkg-$VERSION and so these files are not picked up by dh_install

My layout is from using this: https://github.com/Springerle/dh-virtualenv-mold
which looks different to: https://github.com/1and1/debianized-sentry
(I've tried to align with the latter without success)

As a debian packaging newbie, I cannot fathom how to hook into the build system to move files around.
Any pointers on how to get this going would be very appreciated.

Thanks

Provide a link to your repo, else this is reading tea leafs.

Small test case.

A reduced fileset from our internal package.

Q. how to include ./etc/uwsgi.ini into package as per debian/dhv-299.install

jhermann commented

well, your manifest does not include etc, so it is not copied via a source package.
