debhelper error -- bug?



Hey all,

The latest release of debhelper(0.99.2) broke my packages.  
Is it a bug in it, or my packages? I think it the recent change
to dh_movefiles (see the changelog) did it.  Unfortunately I don't
know enough bash to fix it myself. Thanks.

Here is the error:
--------------------
