The answer is: the install is to debian/tmp . dh_install is called for
files there. Thus if you need to copy a file manually from the build 
root, you need to add an explicit 'cp' in debian/rules anyway. Listing 
them separately in debian/asterisk.install will not gain much and only
require syncing debian/rules and debian/asterisk.install manually. 

I don't like that messy part of debian/rules, but simply using
asterisk.install won't make it cleaner.

Maybe edit that file with a custom debhelper-like script to add the
snippet you like? Isn't there an existing ubuntu debhelper to do that?
