How to avoid errors when moving files in a bff?

I am building a bff using mkinstallp.

My template file is :

Code:

Package Name: svr_exForum
Package VRMF: 7.2
Update: N
Fileset
        Fileset Name: svr_exForum.rte
        Fileset VRMF: 7.2

                Post-installation Script: /lppdir/lpp/exForum/F_post_i
                Pre_rm Script: /lppdir/lpp/exForum/F_prerm_i

                Unpost-installation Script: /lppdir/lpp/exForum/F_unpost_i
                Pre-deinstall Script: /lppdir/lpp/exForum/F_predes_i

I have a compressed source file and once decompress I have to move some files in a different location.
In my Post-installation Script I am then moving some of the USRFiles is a different location.

If I do that when installing the bff I get the following error message :

Code:

sysck: 3001-022 The file ...   was not found.

Is there a way to skeep the test done during the installation of the bff that verify if all the USRFiles are present?
If I have done the same operations in rpm packages and I would use the missingok in the %files section.

Thank you

dh_missing

DH_MISSING(1)                                                        Debhelper                                                       DH_MISSING(1)

NAME

       dh_missing - check for missing files

SYNOPSIS

       dh_missing [-Xitem] [--sourcedir=dir] [debhelperoptions]

DESCRIPTION

       dh_missing compares the list of installed files with the files in the source directory. If any of the files (and symlinks) in the source
       directory were not installed to somewhere, it will warn on stderr about that (--list-missing) or fail (--fail-missing).  Please note that
       without either of these options, dh_missing will silently do nothing.

       This may be useful if you have a large package and want to make sure that you don't miss installing newly added files in new upstream
       releases.

       Remember to test different kinds of builds (dpkg-buildpackage -A/-B/...) as you may experience varying results when only a subset of the
       packages are built.

FILES

       debian/not-installed
           List the files that are deliberately not installed in any binary package.  Paths listed in this file are ignored by dh_missing.
           However, it is not a method to exclude files from being installed by any of the debhelper tool.  If you want a tool to not install a
           given file, please use its --exclude option (where available).

           dh_missing will expand wildcards in this file (since debhelper 11.1).  Wildcards without matches will be ignored.

OPTIONS

       --list-missing
           Warn on stderr about source files not installed to somewhere.

           Note that files that are excluded from being moved via the -X option are not warned about.

           This is the default in compat 12 and later.

       --fail-missing
           This option is like --list-missing, except if a file was missed, it will not only list the missing files, but also fail with a nonzero
           exit code.

SEE ALSO

       debhelper(7)

       This program is a part of debhelper.
