Hi Helmut;

The underlying cause is fix for #871322. It's easy enough to change to
something like

ifneq ($(filter sketch-doc,$(shell dh_listpackages)),)
	cd Doc && perl make.pl linux examples
endif
ifneq ($(filter sketch,$(shell dh_listpackages)),)
	$(XP) -o sketch.1 $(DB2MAN)  debian/sketch-man.xml
endif

The trickier issue is "sketch.info". It is build by the above "perl
make.pl" call, but currrently is in the sketch binary packgage. I'm not
sure if it's better to move to the -doc package, or add a redundant call
to makeinfo.
