Usually, there are two circumstances: 1. A multi-package source, in which case you'd use "<package>.files", not "files" (or at least I do) 2. A single-package source, in which case you don't use dh_movefiles (you'd install directly to debian/<packagename> instead of debian/tmp) In neither case do you need "files", so there's no *real* problem. At best, the bugreport should be severity wishlist, in my opinion.
