Maybe I wa not clear enough. In my package I worked around this problem
with the following code:

override_dh_install:
        dh_install --fail-missing

Ok. I try to be more clear.

dh_install -O--fail-missing do nothing. Not even saying that it will do
nothing.

In other way, dh_install --fail-missing copy files. Which is not a big
suprise, because that is the job of the program.

I do not thing that I sent unrelated thing. my problem is looking very
similar. dh_install wasn't copy ANY files, when it's called trough the
dh. Isn't this bug is about this?

I know what --fail-missing is do. And I use it in the way it should be
used. And I'm able to differentiate the error message about files left
in the tmp area and when dh_install say it could find nothing.

But - which is an other interesting thing - I could not reproduce the
problem in my building machine. So I could not produce evidence. :(
