This was not an incompatable change in debhelper, except for in the case where someone happened to have a debian/doc-base file already, and had a multi-binary package, and wanted that file to apply to a different binary package than the one debhelper puts it in. I thought this case would be vanishingly rare. Another solution is to copy dh_installdocs from potato's debhelper to debian/ and remove the hand-written doc-base stuff from debian/rules. Presto, a package that will build on both slink and potato. -- see shy jo
