Hi!

When dh_install fails to find a file, dh_install exits non-zero. This is
fine.

But I would like a option to pass to dh_install so it lists all files it
can't find and then exits non-zero.

Currently, if upstream has changed a lot, my workflow is:
dh_install -pPackage --sourcedir=debian/tmp
# study error
vi debian/Package.install
#remove file
dh_install -pPackage --sourcedir=debian/tmp
# study error
vi debian/Package.install
#remove file
dh_install -pPackage --sourcedir=debian/tmp
# study error
vi debian/Package.install
#remove file
dh_install -pPackage --sourcedir=debian/tmp

.... until it succeds.

I would like to have the possibility to do 
dh_install -pPackage --sourcedir=debian/tmp --list-all-files-not-found
adapt Package.install
profit.


thanks in advance.
