No, debhelper does not interfere with $(INSTALL_PROGRAM).  For Debian 
packaging binaries should not be stripped during build - then dh_strip 
should deal with stripping afterwards.

Problem is, the unusual filenames goes below the radar of dh_strip, and 
(according to Felipe) dh_strip cannot be spoonfed additional files to 
strip.
