I'm not able to reproduce it:

joey@dragon:~/src/debhelper>mkdir -p build-tree/pupa-0.6+20031114/
joey@dragon:~/src/debhelper>touch build-tree/pupa-0.6+20031114/README
joey@dragon:~/src/debhelper>fakeroot ./dh_installdocs -v build-tree/pupa-0.=
6+20031114/README
        cp -a build-tree/pupa-0.6\+20031114/README debian/debhelper/usr/sha=
re/doc/debhelper
        chown -R 0:0 debian/debhelper/usr/share/doc
        chmod -R go=3DrX debian/debhelper/usr/share/doc
        chmod -R u\+rw debian/debhelper/usr/share/doc
        install -g 0 -o 0 -m 644 -p debian/copyright debian/debhelper/usr/s=
hare/doc/debhelper/copyright

Can you help me reproduce it, preferably outside the context of
cdbs and at the command line?
