preventing dpkg-buildpackage using /usr/bin as installation destination

Question

Briefly, I am building a Debian package. Everything works fine with packaging except the point, that after packaging my application is always in the /usr/bin folder.

It's actually a Python application with following setup.py:

setup(name="myapp",
      version="0.80.04",
      description='My Appicantion.',
      author='ajava',
      author_email='info@ajava.de',
      url='http://http://www.ajava.de',
      scripts=['myapp'])

I have already made an install-file in my debian folder.

/debian/install

myapp root/apps/myapp
readme* root/apps/myapp  

What I get currently is a Debian package with this structure:

|
|->usr/bin/myapp
|->root/apps/myapp
|->root/apps/readme  
|....

My goal:

|
|->root/apps/myapp
|->root/apps/readme
...

Also no usr/bin. How can I achieve this?

for everyone else with the same problem:

the line "scripts" in my setup.py-file was the bad-guy. removing this line and configuring the install-file in debian-folder is the right way to install your app where ever you want.

setup(name="myapp",
      version="0.80.04",
      description='My Appicantion.',
      author='ajava',
      author_email='info@ajava.de',
      url='http://http://www.ajava.de')
