Hi, This is an intentional change in debhelper when you upgrade to compat 11 prompted by a Debian policy change. > - The dh_installdocs and dh_installexamples tools may now > install most of the documentation in a different path to > comply with the recommendation from Debian policy §12.3 > (since version 3.9.7). > > Note that if a given source package only contains a single > binary package in debian/control or none of the > packages are -doc packages, then this change is not > relevant for that source package and you can skip to the > next change. > > By default, these tools will now attempt to determine a > "main package for the documentation" (called a doc-main- > package from here on) for every -doc package. If they > find such a doc-main-package, they will now install the > documentation into the path > /usr/share/doc/doc-main-package in the given doc package. I.e. the path can > change > but the documentation is still shipped in the -doc package. > > The --doc-main-package option can be used when the > auto-detection is insufficient or to reset the path to its > previous value if there is a reason to diverge from Debian > policy recommendation. > > Some documentation will not be affected by this change. > These exceptions include the copyright file, changelog > files, README.Debian, etc. These files will still be > installed in the path /usr/share/doc/package. > Thanks, ~Niels
