Dear maintainers,

gutenprint now fails to build from source in unstable. Initially, it fails
to build because debian/libgutenprintui2-2.symbols expects symbols to be present that are not part of this library's API but only a result of using
yacc internally. Marking these symbols optional gets past this issue:

(optional)yy_create_buffer@Base 5.3.0~pre1
(optional)yy_delete_buffer@Base 5.3.0~pre1
(optional)yy_flex_debug@Base 5.3.0~pre1
(optional)yy_flush_buffer@Base 5.3.0~pre1
(optional)yy_scan_buffer@Base 5.3.0~pre1
(optional)yy_scan_bytes@Base 5.3.0~pre1
(optional)yy_scan_string@Base 5.3.0~pre1
(optional)yy_switch_to_buffer@Base 5.3.0~pre1
(optional)yyalloc@Base 5.3.0~pre1
(optional)yychar@Base 5.3.0~pre1
(optional)yydebug@Base 5.3.1
[...]

But then the package fails because dh_missing complains about files
installed into debian/tmp not being included in any package:

While detecting missing files, dh_missing noted some files with a similar name to those
that were missing. This error /might/ be resolved by replacing references to the
missing files with the similarly named ones that dh_missing found - assuming the content
is identical.

As an example, you might want to replace:
* doc/developer/reference-html/a2128.html
with:
* usr/share/gutenprint/doc/reference-html/a2128.html
in a file in debian/ or as argument to one of the dh_* tools called from debian/rules.
(Note it is possible the paths are not used verbatim but instead directories
containing or globs matching them are used instead)

Alternatively, add the missing file to debian/not-installed if it cannot and should not
be used.

The following debhelper tools have reported what they installed (with files per package)
* dh_install: escputil (2), gimp-gutenprint (3), gutenprint-doc (2), gutenprint-locales (1), libgutenprint-common (1), libgutenprint-dev (3), libgutenprint-doc (19), libgutenprint9 (3), libgutenprintui2-2 (2), libgutenprintui2-dev (3), printer-driver-
gutenprint (8)
* dh_installdocs: escputil (0), gimp-gutenprint (1), gutenprint-doc (0), gutenprint-locales (0), libgutenprint-common (0), libgutenprint-dev (2), libgutenprint-doc (0), libgutenprint9 (1), libgutenprintui2-2 (0), libgutenprintui2-dev (0), printer-
driver-gutenprint (2)
* dh_installman: escputil (0), gimp-gutenprint (0), gutenprint-doc (0), gutenprint-locales (0), libgutenprint-common (0), libgutenprint-dev (0), libgutenprint-doc (0), libgutenprint9 (0), libgutenprintui2-2 (0), libgutenprintui2-dev (0), printer-driver-
gutenprint (0)
If the missing files are installed by another tool, please file a bug against it.
When filing the report, if the tool is not part of debhelper itself, please reference the
"Logging helpers and dh_missing" section from the "PROGRAMMING" guide for debhelper (10.6.3+).
(in the debhelper package: /usr/share/doc/debhelper/PROGRAMMING.md.gz)
Be sure to test with dpkg-buildpackage -A/-B as the results may vary when only a subset is built
If the omission is intentional or no other helper can take care of this consider adding the
paths to debian/not-installed.
dh_missing: error: missing files, aborting
make: *** [debian/rules:6: binary] Error 255

This is probably fixable by changing debian/libgutenprint-doc.install to reference the files under debian/tmp by their full path instead of using the paths in the source tree.
