Package: debhelper
Version: 5.0.42
Severity: normal

At the moment dh_install --list-missing complains about any file in
debian/tmp not listed in the install file.  This includes manpages,
even if they are listed in their own manpages file to be installed by
dh_installman.

It would be more consistent (and less annoying - having to add
--exclude=usr/share/man is annoying) if dh_install checked
the manpages file before complaining that the man pages are not
installed.  Possibly combined with a check in debian/rules that
dh_installman is in fact invoked?

The same principle might apply to the other dh_install* commands as well.

Thanks,
Drew
