No, I think this is not a bug in debhelper but a bug in tupi. With the
current use of dh_installdocs --link-doc you loose the binNMU changelog
entry. I'd rather have dh_installdocs error out if it's used that way on
a combination of arch-indepdent and arch-dependent packages.

I've filed #748376 against lintian to emit a warning if it
dh_installdocs is used in that way.

Cheers
