[Santiago Vila]

Dear maintainer:

I tried to build this package in stretch with "dpkg-buildpackage -A"
but it failed:

	The following debhelper tools have reported what they installed (with files per package)
	 * dh_install: openvswitch-common (64), openvswitch-dbg (0), openvswitch-dev (234), openvswitch-pki (0), openvswitch-switch (5), openvswitch-testcontroller (0), openvswitch-vtep (2), ovn-central (2), ovn-controller-vtep (0), ovn-host (0), python-openvswitch (2), python3-openvswitch (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.gz)
	Be sure to test with dpkg-buildpackage -A/-B as the results may vary when only a subset is built
	For a short-term work-around: Add the files to debian/not-installed
# openvswitch-switch
cp debian/openvswitch-switch.template debian/openvswitch-switch/usr/share/openvswitch/switch/default.template

To reproduce, please try "dpkg-buildpackage -A".
(The error does not happen with "dpkg-buildpackage").

Thanks.
