[debhelper-devel] Bug#881658: debhelper: breaks libguestfs

[Gianfranco Costamagna]

Package: debhelper
Version: 10.10.7
Severity: serious
Justification: breaks reverse-dependencies.

Hello, I tried to rebuild libguestfs in ubuntu, and I found that commit [1]

broke dh_install for packages using regex like:
usr/include/guestfs.h
usr/lib/*-*/libguestfs.a
usr/lib/*-*/libguestfs.so
usr/lib/*-*/libguestfs.la
usr/lib/*-*/pkgconfig/*


ending up in:
dh_install -X.la -X.so.owner -Xbindtests -X/usr/lib/go/ -X/usr/lib/go- -Xpackages.orig -Xetc/php.d \
    --fail-missing
dh_install: Please use dh_missing --list-missing/--fail-missing instead
dh_install: This feature will be removed in compat 12.
dh_install: libguestfs-dev missing files: usr/lib/*-*/libguestfs.la
dh_install: libguestfs-gobject-dev missing files: usr/lib/*-*/libguestfs-gobject-*.la
dh_install: php-guestfs missing files: /etc/php.d
dh_install: missing files, aborting

I reverted that commit and uploaded in Ubuntu, I didn't check the debian package, but should be affected
by the same bug
(build ongoing here [2], will finish/fail hopefully in some minutes)
