It's a regression in debhelper 9.20160702 that is triggered if a package symlinks its doc directory with "dh_installdocs --link-doc" _and_ installs additional documentation there. Attached is a patch which fixes that (at least in the freetype case since this is the only package I have tested in on ;-)). Cheers, Sven

Use ensure_docdir instead which was designed precisely for this case.
