[Bug 1077531] [NEW] debhelper lacks example rules files

[Patola]

Public bug reported:

I was going through a deb package building tutorial at
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nhoRyd2CEVs and it used Ubuntu. It
mentions a few example rules files under
/usr/share/doc/debhelper/examples: rules.multi, rules.multi2, rules.arch
and rules.indep. I noticed that the current Ubuntu debhelper package
only has rules.tiny under this directory.

I search through apt-file and tried to locate such examples in many
other packages but I was unsuccessful. I browsed through the changelog
of debhelper to see if there was any notice of removal of these files
but also could not find it.

I was able to find the files in the internet here:
http://www.fifi.org/doc/debhelper/examples/

Thus I think that the non-inclusion of these files might be a bug.
