Bug#369268: [Build-common-hackers] debhelper.mk: installs common docs instead of docs listed in package.docs

[Micha Lenk]

Hello,

cdbs could call dh_installdocs twice. The first time with files
specified on commandline, the second time without.

Does cdbs do something wrong or not? I say, yes it's doing things wrong:
cdbs should install files listed in <package>.docs in preference over
the files specified on command line to dh_installdocs.

Not having talked about the reasons for this bug: Do you at least agree
with this being a bug?

Yours
