I ran into this when building dysk. Its build.rs builds the manpage and
shell completions during build and uses OUT_DIR as variable to determine
the (random) directory where those files get stored. This results in
something like this:

target/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/release/build/dysk-4e7389bff8afe8b6/out/dysk.1

During install this does not get picked up since dh-cargo does not know
to look for this directory. I think this could be resolved by dh-cargo
overriding OUT_DIR with a debian-specific directory where those file
then get built to / installed from.

best,

werdahias
