Thanks for taking the time to report this issue. This occurs because the package is installing "mpi_kmeans" (from source root) rather than "usr/bin/mpi_kmeans" (from debian/tmp). In this sense, dh_missing is "right" on a technicality that in practise is irrelevant as the two different paths have the same content. Honestly, I would recommend that you updated your install files to use "usr/bin/mpi_kmeans" and "usr/bin/mpi_assign" as the solution. Most likely, I will simply end up with a documentation note in dh_missing about this case (wording suggestions/patches welcome). Thanks, ~Niels
