Hello Olaf,
dh_install(1)
debian/package.install
[...] The format is a set of lines, where each line lists a
file or files to install, and at the end of the line tells the
directory it should be installed in.
[...] You may use wildcards in the names of the files to install.
debian/tmp/usr/lib/iraf/*.cl /targetdirfor_cl/
