Had a quick discussion with Axel on irc, where we were wondering,what this  file
buildinfo.gz is for and why dh_buildinfo is placing it at
debian/<package>/usr/share/doc/<package>/

Maybe some other place would be more suitable.

Either dh_buildinfo does not break existing packages and respects if
/usr/share/doc/<package> is a symlink (my preferred solution) or cdbs should not
run it automatically.

Cheers,
Michael
