   Thanks for the pointer!  I took a look and it looks like that in dh_elpa   
   only source files listed in the debian/*elpa files are actually logged   
   in log_installed_file (see [1][2][3]), so this won't check the actual   
   files in the source directory.  In that sense, I guess dh_missing is   
   probably used for verifying that all files listed in   
   debian/*{install,elpa} are included in the .deb package.  And I feel   
   like this is probably intended, as it makes sense if files are shipped   
   in multiple packages, but I could be missing something.   
      
   This leaves the question on whether we want to implement this logic   
   separately in dh-elpa, or fix the usage of log_installed_files?  For the   
   latter, I also wonder whether dh_missing should be used this way, or IOW   
   whether it is already working as intended.
