Re: problem with dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot / dh_movefiles: debian/tmp does not exist.
This is actually similar to what I was experiencing. If you want to use
debian/tmp you'll have to add -Pdebian/tmp to all dh_* functions that creates
or install files....

The Internet will destroy the barriers that are isolating people
from decent opportunities based on where they happened to have been born,
and this will be a fundamental transformation of our global society that will
greatly discomfort a lot of worthless people. Then those same worthless people
will create new barriers based on access to source code, licenses,
software permissions, etc. Sigh.
