Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package fails to upgrade from
'testing'.
It installed fine in 'testing', then the upgrade to 'sid' fails
because it tries to overwrite other packages files without declaring a
Breaks+Replaces relation.

See policy 7.6 at
https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html#overwriting-files-and-replacing-packages-replaces

>From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...):

  Preparing to unpack .../anyremote-doc_6.7.3-2_all.deb ...
  Unpacking anyremote-doc (6.7.3-2) ...
  dpkg: error processing archive 
/var/cache/apt/archives/anyremote-doc_6.7.3-2_all.deb (--unpack):
   trying to overwrite '/usr/share/doc/anyremote/NEWS.gz', which is also in 
package anyremote 6.7.3-1
  dpkg-deb: error: paste subprocess was killed by signal (Broken pipe)
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   /var/cache/apt/archives/anyremote-doc_6.7.3-2_all.deb

This is probably caused by a behavioral change of dh_installdocs
that was activated by the recent debhelper-compat bump.


cheers,

Andreas
