It looks like this was quietly fixed somewhere between 10.2.5 and
10.6.2, maybe in 10.5.1 by:

  * dh_install: Optimize some patterns into bulked "cp" calls.  This
    optimization is only applicable in some cases (notably, it is always
    disabled by --exclude).

This actually broke src:linux as we accidentally relied on dh_install
breaking at spaces.  We'll fix that, but you might want to make the
change dependent on compat level in case it breaks other packages. 
Possibly the change in 10.6.3 does that.
