I've canceled this NMU because it is incorrect and does not fix the bug
here.

Your change has no effect on the binNMUability of tworld. The problem
here is that --link-doc inserts a tworld-data (= ${binary:Version}) into
misc:Depends which can never be satisfied if the package is binNMUed.

Example binNMU with your patch:
