Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package fails to upgrade from
'testing'.
It installed fine in 'testing', then the upgrade to 'sid' fails
because it tries to overwrite other packages files without declaring a
Breaks+Replaces relation.

See policy 7.6 at
https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/#overwriting-files-and-replacing-packages-replaces

>From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...):

  Selecting previously unselected package appstream-doc.
  Preparing to unpack .../appstream-doc_0.11.8-1_all.deb ...

   trying to overwrite '/usr/share/doc/appstream/NEWS.gz', which is also in 
package appstream 0.11.7-1
  dpkg-deb: error: paste subprocess was killed by signal (Broken pipe)
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   /var/cache/apt/archives/appstream-doc_0.11.8-1_all.deb

This is probably caused by a behavior change in dh_installdocs in
debhelper compat level 11.


cheers,

Andreas
