Still, this does not feel stable. You've got $srcdir/etc/ts.conf and you've got (the probably make install'ed) debian/tmp/etc/ts.conf. dh_install will grab ts.conf from $srcdir/etc/ts.conf and therefore dh_missing still belives debian/tmp/etc/ts.conf is still uninstalled. so you need to instruct dh_install to take it from the debian directory: "debian/tmp/etc/ts.conf" > I've change the other remarks you had as well and pushed it to > https://github.com/merge/tslib-debian (This is a quite odd debian packaging repo layout) It has extra files (README.markdown autobuild.sh) for an debian/-only-layout and for the "usual" layout where upstream-source is unpacked in the root directory + the debian-directory -- well, there's no source. This break assumptions from standard Debian tools, eg the sequence debcheckout tslib cd ts-lib uscan --force-download dpkg-source -b . will not work, as the extra files break dpkg-source: dpkg-source: info: local changes detected, the modified files are: tslib/README.markdown tslib/autobuild.sh dpkg-source: hint: make sure the version in debian/changelog matches the unpacked source tree dpkg-source: hint: you can integrate the local changes with dpkg-source --commit dpkg-source: error: aborting due to unexpected upstream changes, see /tmp/tslib_1.24-1.diff.nrTGG0 I recommend to check DEP14 and possibly create an DEP14 compliant packaging repository, containing upstream source and debian directory.
