Package: debhelper
Version: 12
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

The documentation about dh_* -X parameters is misleading at best:

,----
| Note that files that are excluded from being moved via the -X
| option are not warned about.
`----

Please have a look at tag debian/1.13.0-1 of wimlib[1]: dh_install is
called with -X.la, but the skipped file is not recorded for dh_missing,
so I had to add a debian/not-installed file to avoid a build failure
with the following message:

,----
| dh_missing: usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libwim.la exists in debian/tmp but is 
not installed to anywhere
`----

Cheers,
-Hilko
