You've got $srcdir/etc/ts.conf and you've got (the probably make
install'ed) debian/tmp/etc/ts.conf. dh_install will grab ts.conf from
$srcdir/etc/ts.conf and therefore dh_missing still belives
debian/tmp/etc/ts.conf is still uninstalled.
so you need to instruct dh_install to take it from the debian directory:
"debian/tmp/etc/ts.conf"

(This is a quite odd debian packaging repo layout)
It has extra files (README.markdown autobuild.sh) for an
debian/-only-layout and for the "usual" layout where upstream-source is
unpacked in the root directory + the debian-directory -- well, there's no source.
This break assumptions from standard Debian tools, eg the
sequence
debcheckout tslib
cd ts-lib
uscan --force-download
dpkg-source -b .
will not work, as the extra files break dpkg-source:
dpkg-source: info: local changes detected, the modified files are:
tslib/README.markdown
tslib/autobuild.sh
dpkg-source: hint: make sure the version in debian/changelog matches the unpacked source tree
dpkg-source: hint: you can integrate the local changes with dpkg-source --commit
dpkg-source: error: aborting due to unexpected upstream changes, see /tmp/tslib_1.24-1.diff.nrTGG0
I recommend to check DEP14 and possibly create an DEP14 compliant
packaging repository, containing upstream source and debian directory.
(To sidestep this, please upload a .dsc to mentors.d.n.)
