[debhelper-devel] Bug#814856: debhelper: dh_install -X option is broken

Hi,

It seems the -X option of dh_install is either broken or its
behaviour has changed recently. With newer versions of debhelper
codelite fails to build with this error:

>    debian/rules override_dh_install
> make[1]: Entering directory '/«BUILDDIR»/codelite-9.1+dfsg'
> dh_install  -Xcodelite-lldb -XLLDBDebugger.so
> dh_install: codelite-plugins missing files: usr/bin/codelite-lldb
> dh_install: codelite-plugins missing files: usr/lib/codelite/LLDBDebugger.so
> dh_install: missing files, aborting
> debian/rules:40: recipe for target 'override_dh_install' failed
> make[1]: *** [override_dh_install] Error 2

Bisected to this commit:
8a9b2f22871f1cd612f4a5660a943dd2ca5d4f24 is the first bad commit

    dh_install: Fail late when there were non-existing files
    
    Print warnings for each glob that did not match anything, and fail
    after processing all packages if there were any missing files.
    
    Closes: #488346

Unless I've misread the documentation, it seems that what I'm doing
should work here.

Thanks,
James
