Control: severity -1 important Hi Niels,
I've now added one paragraph to the POD of dh_installdocs: Please be aware that this deduplication currently only works if B<dh_installdocs> is called only once during the package build as deduplication is done in memory only. Especially calling B<dh_installdocs -p>I<package> in combination with using F<debian/>I<package>F<.doc-base.*> files can lead to uninstallable packages. See L<https://bugs.debian.org/980903> for details. Cc'ing debian-l10n-english@l.d.o for input on this phrasing as per https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/best-pkging-practices.en.html#write-correct-english I also regenerated to .po files and committed them, too, in a separate commit and pushed both commits to master.

Didn't get any feedback so far, so I went down the "document the issue" route. Downgraded the bug report accordingly with this mail, too. > > 1) Please base your work on debhelper's master branch.

So I assume my question above is answered by "done with a > first upload". I still think I should first ask debian-l10n-english. Done herewith, see above.
