Hi again,

this is my second attempt to bring libvmime to debhelper 10.
I adressed Guidos suggestions and reworked the series a little bit.

Lintian is now not completely happy and remarks dh-exec is probably used in
a wrong way.

I: libvmime source: dh-exec-useless-usage debian/libvmime-dev.install "usr/lib/${DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH}/lib*.a"
N: 
N:    The package uses dh-exec for things it is not needed for.
N:    
N:    This typically includes using ${DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH} in an install target
N:    where a wildcard would suffice. For example, if you had:
N:    
N:     #! /usr/bin/dh-exec
N:     usr/lib/${DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH}
N:    
N:    This could be replaced with the following in most cases, dropping the
N:    need for dh-exec:
N:    
N:     usr/lib/*
N:    
N:    However, there may be other directories that match the wildcard, which
N:    one does not wish to install. In that case, this warning should be
N:    ignored or overridden.
N:    
N:    Severity: wishlist, Certainty: possible
N:    
N:    Check: debhelper, Type: source
N:

I disagree here as I don't want to install the whole folder and only specific
files. So I wouldn't anything more than adding a override.
