It looks like line noise, so it must be perl....

I use a different method. I started packing when dh_movefiles was used and 
used the following binary target in the rules file:

binary: binary-indep binary-arch
	find $(tmp) -type f -o -type l | sed -e "s_^$(tmp)/__" | tee doit

It always lists missing files, and also puts them in the file "doit", from 
where in a format that can be easily pasted into ".files" files.
To categorise a couple of new files, after a new cvs update and rebuild is 
quite easy.

Another problem is disappearing files. That has bitten me one or two times 
now. dh_install and dh_movefiles just don't do what I want them to do.
And then we have at least one empty directory in KDE, that need to be copied.  
At least dh_movefiles just omits empty directories.
