Package: debhelper Version: 12.5.3 Severity: normal Hi,
while working on a package, I had trouble finding out why some file were disapearing without any reason and no entry in build log, despite using DH_VERBOSE. Looking at the code, it's because glob_expand_error_handler_silently_ignores is used, I guess to avoid warning about not being able to remove non-existing files. It would be nice if dh_clean would print something about files being removed, at least when DH_VERBOSE=1. IMO, warnings about non-existing files are OK if DH_VERBOSE is used. What do you think? I didn't really look at a possible patch yet, I wanted to discuss it first.
