Thank you for the bug report, Andreas!

So, as I understand it, the warnings reported by dh-missing were false
positives. I shall try to rebuild the package without the duplicate
installation of files, and a fresh build environment: I hope that the
last version of dh-missing will no longer prevent the build of the
package.

Best regards,                   Georges.
