Package: devscripts
Version: 2.8.4
Severity: wishlist

Subject: devscripts: File checking script
To: [email protected], [email protected]
I wrote this script while trying to build a deb from a new upstream
release. The new release was a major release so a number of new files
were included in the build but were not included in the
package.{docs,examples,install,ignore} files. Vice versa, there were
a number of old files that were mentioned in the
package.{docs,examples,install,ignore} files but were no longer a part
of the build.
This script will check the existance of the expansion of every line of
the package.{docs,examples,install,ignore} files. If a line doesn't
expand to an existing file then it prints a message indicating which
package.{docs,examples,install,ignore} file and which lines in that
file generated the error.
Vice versa, the script checks all the files created in the debian/tmp
build directory to see if they match any of the expanded lines of the
package.{docs,examples,install,ignore} files. If there are any files
in teh build dir not accounted for in the
package.{docs,examples,install,ignore} files it prints a list of
them.
This script is useful somewhere between uupdate and
dpkg-buildpackage/debuild. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a way to
run dpkg-buildpackage that would just run the make and make install
without trying to assemble the deb. If I could then I would run
uupdate, then run dpkg-buildpackage to the completion of the
installation into debian/tmp, then I would run my script to check
everything, then I would proceed with the assembly of the build and
the lintian checks and the like.
Hope this is useful.

Although such a scenario isn't a problem, I understand the desire to
keep a clean description of what should be installed to the package.

It seems this is covered by “dh_install --list-missing”.
I think it'd make more sense to try and get the functionality you want
implemented in debhelper rather than duplicating functionality in
devscripts. Therefore, I'm closing this bug report.
Cheers,
