Excellent, thanks.  I suspect it is a feature interaction caused by:

 1) To better support dh_missing, dh_installdocs (among others) need to
    log all installed files even for packages not acted on.

 2) In compat 11, failed matches are no longer silently ignored.

Certainly, this should be handled more gracefully like in dh_install,
where missing files are silently ignored for packages not acted on.

I believe I got all the information I need to reproduce and fix the
issue now.  Thanks for finding this bug and reporting it. :)

Thanks,
