In your post#3 I saw you asked how to exclude any directory or sub-directory in findcommand then following could help you in same. To exclude a directory and only print all the file names following may help you in same.
Code:
find . -maxdepth 2 -type d -name "again_test*" -prune -o -type f -name "test*" -print
If you are happy with above command then you could copy files to the destination directory by following command.
Code:
find . -maxdepth 2 -type d -name "again_test*" -prune -o -type f -name "test*" -exec cp -t /tmp {} \+
So in above codes change values of again_test*to that directory which you want to exclude, test*with those file extensions/names which you want to find here,/tmpwith your destination path please. Change maxdepthvalue as per your need here. Kindly do test the same and please do let us know how it goes for this.
Thanks,

dh_install
DH_INSTALL(1) Debhelper DH_INSTALL(1)NAME
dh_install - install files into package build directories
SYNOPSIS
dh_install [-Xitem] [--autodest] [--sourcedir=dir] [debhelperoptions] [file|dir...destdir]
DESCRIPTION
dh_install is a debhelper program that handles installing files into package build directories. There are many dh_install* commands that
handle installing specific types of files such as documentation, examples, man pages, and so on, and they should be used when possible as
they often have extra intelligence for those particular tasks. dh_install, then, is useful for installing everything else, for which no
particular intelligence is needed. It is a replacement for the old dh_movefiles command.
This program may be used in one of two ways. If you just have a file or two that the upstream Makefile does not install for you, you can
run dh_install on them to move them into place. On the other hand, maybe you have a large package that builds multiple binary packages. You
can use the upstream Makefile to install it all into debian/tmp, and then use dh_install to copy directories and files from there into the
proper package build directories.
From debhelper compatibility level 7 on, dh_install will fall back to looking in debian/tmp for files, if it doesn't find them in the
current directory (or whereever you've told it to look using --sourcedir).
FILES
debian/package.install
List the files to install into each package and the directory they should be installed to. The format is a set of lines, where each
line lists a file or files to install, and at the end of the line tells the directory it should be installed in. The name of the files
(or directories) to install should be given relative to the current directory, while the installation directory is given relative to
the package build directory. You may use wildcards in the names of the files to install (in v3 mode and above).
Note that if you list exactly one filename or wildcard-pattern on a line by itself, with no explicit destination, then dh_install will
automatically guess the destination to use, the same as if the --autodest option were used.
OPTIONS --list-missing
This option makes dh_install keep track of the files it installs, and then at the end, compare that list with the files in the source
directory. If any of the files (and symlinks) in the source directory were not installed to somewhere, it will warn on stderr about
that.
This may be useful if you have a large package and want to make sure that you don't miss installing newly added files in new upstream
releases.
Note that files that are excluded from being moved via the -X option are not warned about.
--fail-missing
This option is like --list-missing, except if a file was missed, it will not only list the missing files, but also fail with a nonzero
exit code.
-Xitem, --exclude=item
Exclude files that contain item anywhere in their filename from being installed.
--sourcedir=dir
Look in the specified directory for files to be installed.
Note that this is not the same as the --sourcedirectory option used by the dh_auto_* commands. You rarely need to use this option,
since dh_install automatically looks for files in debian/tmp in debhelper compatibility level 7 and above.
--autodest
Guess as the destination directory to install things to. If this is specified, you should not list destination directories in
debian/package.install files or on the command line. Instead, dh_install will guess as follows:
Strip off debian/tmp (or the sourcedir if one is given) from the front of the filename, if it is present, and install into the dirname
of the filename. So if the filename is debian/tmp/usr/bin, then that directory will be copied to debian/package/usr/. If the filename
is debian/tmp/etc/passwd, it will be copied to debian/package/etc/.
file|dir ... destdir
Lists files (or directories) to install and where to install them to. The files will be installed into the first package dh_install
acts on.
LIMITATIONS
dh_install cannot rename files or directories, it can only install them with the names they already have into wherever you want in the
package build tree.
