I think the following patch will fix the issue, although I haven't
tested with piuparts, or tested the built package works, but it does
successfully install.
On fresh installs, /usr/share/doc/debbugs/examples is a symlink to
/usr/share/debbugs/examples, but on upgrades, it doesn't handle the
examples directory transforming to a symlink and leaves an empty
directory in /usr/share/doc/debbugs/examples.

That said, debbugs hasn't seen an upload to unstable since 2003, and the
upload in experimental was in 2010 (the patch should apply to git
without many changes)... maybe it shouldn't ship with Jessie?
