Package: debhelper
Version: 5.0.7

When updating glibc to use debhelper v5 mode instead of v4 mode, I
discovered that the line:

debian/tmp-amd64/usr/lib*/librpcsvc.a* usr/lib64

No longer works for excluding a file.  This file is only produced when
natively compiling glibc, but not when cross compiling.  We generate the
debhelper install lists from some master versions.  In v4 mode, the
wildcard matches nothing as well and debhelper continues on.  In v5
mode, I now get an abort because the file doesn't exist.

I realize that this might not actually be a bug, but if not then the
changed globbing handling should be documented in the debhelper manpage
as a change from v5.  If that's also the case, can you suggest the
current Best Practice for listing a file that might not be there?

Tks,
Jeff Bailey
