No, you are just using an old version of debhelper. The 'fix' you are looking 
for happened in version 4.1.0, but testing still has version 4.0.2.

paul@kippax:~$ apt-show-versions -a debhelper
debhelper       4.1.29  install ok installed
debhelper       4.0.2.openoffice        stable
debhelper       4.0.2   testing
debhelper       4.1.29  unstable
debhelper/unstable uptodate 4.1.29
paul@kippax:~$

debhelper (4.1.0) unstable; urgency=low

  * Remove /usr/doc manglement code from postinst and prerm.
    Do not use this verion of debhelper for woody backports!
  * Removed dh_installxaw.

If you want to use debhelper 4.0.2 and _not_ get the /usr/doc/ symlinks, use 
the -n option (see dh_installdocs(1)). The buildds, building for unstable, 
will have a 'corrected' version of debhelper anyway.
