dh_install: Guard optimization in a compat bump
It breaks in the following case:
"bin/l* bin/*s bin"
Assuming debian/tmp/bin contains "ls", then there are now two files to
the same location, which makes cp unhappy. It also happens for
libindicate, where the it have a gtk-2 and gtk-3 variant of files that
happen to clash for similar reasons.
