Package: dh-make
Version: 2.201802
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

dh-make for debian stable is overwriting existing files when used with
the -a option. 

I've created the debian directory with "dh_make", then editied some
files, deleted a .ex template, later considered to re-add one of the
deleted .ex tamples with "dh_make -a", then all of my previous work 
has vanished -- all files were overwritten even if dh_makes says:
"File xxx exists, skipping"
