I wanted to be 100% sure.

My locally built package (it took forever) does install correctly when
built with this one-line fix:

>  override_dh_auto_install:
>         dh_auto_install --destdir=debian/vcmi
> +       rm -vf debian/vcmi/usr/share/vcmi/Mods/vcmi/Maps/VCMI_Tests_2011b.h3m

One DFSG file in the big core.zip no-one know what it's made of :-)

Please exclude this file in VCMI.

Maybe "Files-Excluded" will break your build, beware.
