https://manpages.debian.org/debhelper-compat-upgrade-checklist#v14
says that you should use
Build-Depends: dh-sequence-single-binary
instead of the way that you are using.

Alternatively, I prefer using the other way
where I explicitly add a foo.install (for many packages, the contents
is simply "usr")
and set
dh $@ --without single-binary
Then when the package is switched to dh compat 15 later, I will only
need to remove the " --without single-binary"

Thank you,
Jeremy Bícha
