All the targets in debian/rules are invoked from the top-level source
directory, so relative paths like ./debian/rules will exist.

I meant the part inside dist-packages. If version 1.0 had the paths I
quoted above, but my upstream changes the package so that in version 1.5,
it now installs:

    usr/lib/python3*/dist-packages/foo
    usr/lib/python3*/dist-packages/bar
    usr/lib/python3*/dist-packages/Foobar-*.egg-info

then those are changes which affect compatibility with other software that
depends on this library, and I will need to react to them appropriately in
the packaging (and I can update the .install file at the same time).
