This looks like it is caused by the Ubuntu specific changes to dh_installchangelogs.

Ubuntu have removed this to save disk space and leads to debhelper picking "changelog" as a candidate for the "main package" (and nothing for others). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1654703 Title: /usr/share/doc/fig2dev/CHANGES.gz is a broken symlink To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debhelper/+bug/1654703/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
