Package: debhelper
Version: 4.9.6
Severity: grave

The change introduced in debhelper 4.9.6 to support copying links as well as
files does not sit well with the current findutils:

dh_installdocs -XMakefile -XDoxyfile
find: paths must precede expression
Usage: find [-H] [-L] [-P] [path...] [expression]
dh_installdocs: command returned error code
make: *** [binary-arch] Error 1

This causes build failures such as the one at
<http://buildd.debian.org/fetch.php?&pkg=gtkmm2.4&ver=1%3A2.6.2-1.1&arch=m68k&stamp=1125017969&file=log&as=raw>.

It appears that "or" in the find expression should be "-o".
