[Bug 893826] Re: symlinked docs are different between architectures, depending on dpkg-deb package order

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package pkgbinarymangler - 107

---------------
pkgbinarymangler (107) precise; urgency=low

  * test/run, test_doc_symlink(): Simplify installation of "Makefile".
  * test/run, test_doc_symlink(): Introduce some test library binary packages
    to check handling of transitive dependencies.
  * pkgstripfiles, symlink_doc(): If the link destination target is itself a
    link, resolve it to directly link to the final target instead of not
    symlinking the file at all.
  * test/run: Add new test cases test_doc_symlink_parallel_{fixed,unlimited}()
    which run the symlink test with DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS "parallel=4" and
    "parallel" respectively. Run through them three times as this is a race
    condition and does not trigger every time. This reproduces LP #893826.
  * Add dh_builddeb: Wrapper around the debhelper command which filters out
    the "parallel" option from $DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS. We must not run dpkg-deb in
    parallel as this breaks a predictable doc symlink structure which we
    require for multi-arch. (LP: #893826)
  * debian/pkgbinarymangler.install: Install dh_builddeb wrapper.
  * debian/pkgbinarymangler.{preinst,postrm}: Set up diversion for
    dh_builddeb.
