Indeed, the rules for installation have changed with v1.7.2, so
the packaging may need to be adjusted[1] to match (see
gitweb/INSTALL).  Please report this to the Ubuntu git team.

(I am not sure what the proper way to do that is.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/git/+filebug will at
least reach the right people.)

Hope that helps,
Jonathan
