maintainer-script-does-not-check-for-existence-of-installdocs
The maintainer script calls the install-docs command without
checking that it exists, but the doc-base package, which provides
the command, is not an essential package and may not be available.
For example, you can use the following code in your maintainer script:
if which install-docs > /dev/null; then
install-docs -i /usr/share/doc-base/<your-package>
