you are forgetting packages using doc-debian in their autopkgtests.

Before your upload of 11.0, doc-debian contained:
/usr/share/doc-base/debian-constitution-text
/usr/share/doc-base/debian-mailing-lists
/usr/share/doc-base/debian-manifesto
/usr/share/doc-base/debian-reporting-bugs
/usr/share/doc-base/debian-social-contract
Then with 11.0 this became:
/usr/share/doc-base/doc-debian.debian-constitution-text
/usr/share/doc-base/doc-debian.debian-mailing-lists
/usr/share/doc-base/doc-debian.debian-manifesto
/usr/share/doc-base/doc-debian.debian-reporting-bugs
/usr/share/doc-base/doc-debian.debian-social-contract
This broke the autopkgtest of mmdebstrap which you can also see on the excuses
page for doc-debian: https://qa.debian.org/excuses.php?package=doc-debian
Since I noticed this breakage, I uploaded a new version of mmdebstrap that
works around this problem, assuming that this change was intentional. In
hindsight, I probably should've contacted you instead because when
investigating http://mdcc.cx/tmp/doc-debian/doc-debian_11.1_all.deb and
comparing it to the version from unstable I see:
diff -u <(curl --silent http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/d/doc-debian/doc-debian_11.0_all.deb | dpkg-deb -c - | awk '{print $6}' | sort) <(curl --silent http://mdcc.cx/tmp/doc-debian/doc-debian_11.1_all.deb | dpkg-deb -c - | awk '{print $6}' | sort)

What are the intended paths. Should I revert my changes to mmdebstrap or not?
Also, these changes of paths in /usr/share/doc-base/ forth and back are not
recorded in debian/changelog. If the change was intended, please document it.
Thanks!
