Package: debhelper
Version: 12.9
Severity: normal
I updated compat level 11->12 and now I see in the build log:
| dh_missing: warning: usr/share/man/man8/clamd.8 exists in debian/tmp but is
not installed to anywhere
…
| clamav-daemon_0.102.2+dfsg-2_amd64.deb
…
| -rw-r--r-- root/root 2636 2020-02-16 21:05
./usr/share/man/man8/clamd.8.gz
so everything appears "correct". I didn't say to compress the man pages
but I don't mind if dh_compress is doing so.
Can this warning be turned off?
Sebastian

So it appears that everything works as expected. Replacing the file path
and name as suggested does what it should. I'm confused at best, sorry
for the report.
I'm fairly surprised to see that the wrong file was listed but then the
warning was "path/filename" vs "path/filename.gz" so jumping into wrong
conclusions…

Yup, that is what I'm going to do. Thank you once again for pointing that
out.
