I think I had a bug in haskell-devscripts-0.9.4 that broke doc packages,
but I thought I fixed it in 0.9.5. Maybe you used the broken version?

But now that I look at it, askell-devscripts-0.9.5 is broken as well, in
that it has too many file:
$ dpkg -c libghc-yesod-test-doc_1.4.3.1-2_all.deb 
lrwxrwxrwx root/root         0 2015-04-28 23:27 ./find -> /Running
lrwxrwxrwx root/root         0 2015-04-28 23:27 ./-name -> /debian/libghc-yesod-test-doc/usr/share/doc/libghc-yesod-test-doc/html
lrwxrwxrwx root/root         0 2015-04-28 23:27 ./-printf -> /\\*.txt
lrwxrwxrwx root/root         0 2015-04-28 23:27 ./usr/lib/ghc-doc/hoogle/libghc-yesod-test-doc.txt\\\\n -> /%p\\
lrwxrwxrwx root/root         0 2015-04-28 23:27 ./usr/lib/ghc-doc/hoogle/libghc-yesod-test-doc.txt -> ../../../share/doc/libghc-yesod-test-doc/html/yesod-test.txt

Luckily, I know how to fix it; please use haskell-devscripts-0.9.6. I’m
surprised that this is not a critical lintian error that causes rejects
by the FTP team.


That’s what I get for using a partly rewritten haskell-devscripts for
the first time when there is a mass-upload to do :-(

Greetings,
Joachim
