Usually, there are two circumstances:
1. A multi-package source, in which case you'd use "<package>.files", not
"files" (or at least I do)
2. A single-package source, in which case you don't use dh_movefiles
(you'd install directly to debian/<packagename> instead of debian/tmp)
In neither case do you need "files", so there's no *real* problem.
At best, the bugreport should be severity wishlist, in my opinion.
