I've also noticed that bustle has:
/usr/share/bustle/LICENSE
/usr/share/bustle/data/bustle.ui
/usr/share/bustle/data/dfeet-method.png
/usr/share/bustle/data/dfeet-signal.png
/usr/share/doc/bustle/README.md
/usr/share/doc/bustle/changelog.Debian.gz
/usr/share/doc/bustle/copyright
/usr/share/doc/x86_64-linux-ghc-7.8.4/bustle-0.4.8/LICENSE.gz
so that might be worth another "affects:". Mind you, I expected
the vaguely similar /usr/share/doc/bogusname cases I reported as
#797529 and #797679 to turn out to be related as well, and instead
apparently the latter is deliberate.
