zircon$ dpkg -L xbase | grep README
/usr/doc/xbase/README.Debian
zircon$ ls -l /usr/doc/xbase/README.Debian
ls: /usr/doc/xbase/README.Debian: No such file or directory

FWIW, the previous version of xbase was 3.3.2.2-4, according
to /var/lib/dpkg/status.yesterday.

Judging from timestamps in dpkg-deb -c xbase_3.3.2.3a-8.1.deb and
in the filesystem, other files in /usr/doc/xbase did install correctly.
