Hi,
Thanks for your reply. But according to "Deb maint-guide" as follows, the package.install files are supplementary rather than necessary. I did not add RELEASE to install file in debian directory and even if there is no install file, RELEASE file will still be built into my debian package. I think it is related to "make install" behavior of my EPICS application, since most files in debian directory are unchanged after dh_make.

5.11. install
If there are files that need to be installed into your package but your standard make install won't do it, put the filenames and destinations into this install file.

Regards,
Lin

You probably do not want to install the RELEASE file of your IOC along
with your binaries. Exclude it from the list of files to be installed
(e.g. remove it from debian/<package-name>.install) and you should be good.

HTH,
