I wonder what is the rationale for this.  install is not a mandatory 
target, and is (usually) used to populate debian/tmp (or debian/
<package>s) with the upstream files; while some of the dh_install* 
commands install Debian-specific files.  If there's a working 
binary-indep target, they may interfere and do something wrong when the 
package is built with `dpkg-package -B' (e.g. on the buildds).

Perhaps it makes sense for PHP packages, I don't know.
