[debhelper-devel] Bug#681510: debhelper: dh_install --fail-missing defaults to . as sourcedir even when install itself uses debian/tmp

Hi Niels

I haven't noticed it anymore, so I guess it's fixed.

It seems it also does happen only when using v7 or higher and not specifying explicitly where the files should be installed to in the <package>.install files. According to the documentation it uses debian/tmp by default as sourcedir in that case. As the installation itself worked, it seems there is only something missing in keeping track of what got installed.
