[debhelper-devel] Bug#747141: debhelper: "dh_installdocs --link-doc" breaks binNMUs

[Dmitry Smirnov]

I believe I've been hit by this in #748304 (severity: serious):

~~~~
dh_installdocs -v --link-doc=tupi-data 
        install -g 0 -o 0 -d debian/tupi/usr/share/doc 
        ln -sf tupi-data debian/tupi/usr/share/doc/tupi 
        (grep -s -v misc:Depends debian/tupi.substvars; echo "misc:Depends=tupi-data (= 0.2+git04-1+b1)") > debian/tupi.substvars.new 
        mv debian/tupi.substvars.new debian/tupi.substvars 
~~~~

The above log fragment demonstrates how binNMU breaks.
As Sebastian Ramacher wrote [1]: "The problem is that
tupi-data (= ${binary:Version}) appears in tupi's ${misc:Depends}".
