I believe the current behaviour is correct. Since `DEBIAN/templates` is 
not a `maintscript`, it should not be included in `scripts()`. It is the 
same reason why `DEBIAN/control` is also not present in that value.

If you want to see if the file is present, 
`deb.control.has_file('templates')` would be the way to go about it. 
Beyond that, `deb.control` also has accessors for the actual contents.

Best regards,
Niels
