Hi Axel, now I understand the problem. As James has already pointed out in a previous reply to this bug report, this is apparently a bug in debhelper. [1] [2] Actually I would have expected that a binNMU of holotz-castle fails or would have been rejected. According to [1] this is the intended solution to avoid broken packages with compat level 9. Apparently this never happened for holotz-castle. Looking at [2] it appears this issue will not be fixed in time for Stretch (or at all). This makes the --link-doc option fairly useless (at least for this use case) if you intend to save disk space by symlinking the arch:all documentation to the arch:any packages, at least that was the idea which previous uploaders had in mind. I am going to fix #857236 by removing the dh_installdocs override for holotz-castle and using real directories instead.
