The manpage doesn't say anything about upgrades from arch:any to arch:all, just about Multi-Arch? > What I've not checked is if debhelper can pass different arguments > depending on the maintainer script invoked, which _might_ be required > here, but I've not thought about it.

E.g. should I pass f.e. libcyrus-imap-perl24:$(dpkg --print-architecture) to the dpkg-maintscript-helper call? Would that work for M-A packages? > In any case, definitely a bug in the packaging, and as such reassigning. I can definitely fix that in the packaging, but it's going to be a horrible hack :(. (Personally I think we should have just fixed dh_installdoc --link-doc...)
