Hi, Thanks for the bug report. We need to improve the tooling a bit before we can take this decision. Unfortunately, dh_install cannot see files installed by later helpers (e.g. dh_installman), so it has a lot of false-positives at the moment. There is some work on the way in #415396, which will solve that problem, but it will still take some time for us to adapt all tools (not to mention the third party ones). Once that is done, I will probably consider making "--fail-missing" the default in the next compat level after that. Thanks, ~Niels
