I found that this change occurred when I converted the packaging to dh(1) [1]. Putting the link 'usr/share/doc/libdx4 usr/share/doc/libdx4-dev' back into libdx4-dev.links caused a FTBFS with the error: dh_link: link destination debian/libdx4-dev/usr/share/doc/libdx4-dev is a directory I will take your recommendation and use the 'symlink_to_dir' dpkg-maintscript-helper command to fix this in my next upload, thank you.
