Hrmpf. This happens because the doc-base package in feisty and etch
requires for a "Files" header to be always present. Since I did my test
on sid, I did not notice this. Judging by the version number, gutsy
should be fine too.

So the fix is to add at the very end of bzr.doc-base a line like this:

Files: /usr/share/doc/bzr/html/*.html

I've added it to the sid package, though I'm not uploading just for
this. It'd be great if you can confirm it works (though it certainly
should, it's the same line as it was in previous versions of the
package).

Cheers,
