Are you installing the package in a machine which already had it 
installed? If so, maybe the files are not being copied because they're 
conffiles, and the manager doesn't replace them. Remove the package with 
--purge and then install again.

Between, the package maker is probably going to be deprecated for 3.1, 
you should follow the new package system Gijs is setting up.
