It shouldn't affect list-missing. The => adds new files to
debian/tmp/dh-exec.BLAH/, which will be handled by dh_install anyway. So
they don't show up as false positive.

If upstream installs new files, that's entirely handled by dh_install,
and the => functionality has no effect on it at all.

(To the best of my knowledge, dh_install --list-missing will list files
under debian/tmp that weren't copied anywhere. The new stuff put there
by dh-exec-install won't show up as false positives, and it doesn't hide
mask out anything, so --list-missing should be unaffected.)
