Revert to the pre-10.6.4 behavior for dh_installdocs and the like
It turned out that "dh_installdocs 'foo bar'" has historically treated the argument as a single file rather than two, and packages were relying on it, since there is really no other way to install such a file with dh_installdocs. Hence commit d00d7d524f8 broke them. The situation for dh_installexamples, dh_installman and dh_installinfo is exactly the same. That dh_install has behaved differently in this respect is unfortunate, but can only be fixed in a new compat level. Signed-off-by: Niels Thykier <niels@thykier.net>

on dh_testdir to do this as dh_testdir is called too late.
* dh: optimize out the call to dh_testdir. It is useless for
printing a helpful error message when called by dh.
+ * dh_installdocs: Apply patch from Sven Joachim to revert an
+ incorrect regression "fix". Thanks to Adrian Bunk for
