[Pkg-mozext-maintainers] Bug#698033: install-xpi fails with --sourcedirectory

Package: mozilla-devscripts
Severity: minor

Debhelper support "--sourcedirectory" parameter that is useful when package 
builds not from the topmost directory in upstream source tree.

If I have something like the following in debian/rules

%:
	dh $@ --with xul-ext --buildsystem=xul_ext --sourcedirectory=FOO

package build fails with the following error:

	install-xpi: Error: Failed to find debian/ directory.
	Please execute the script in a Debian source package.
