Check the kdevelop package (dpkg -c): The docs are below /usr/share/doc/HTML.
The /usr/doc/doc-base/kdevelop-* files trigger the install-docs run that uses
dhelp as one of it's backend. Therefore install-docs tries to create
.dhelp files from the /usr/doc/doc-base/kdevelop-* files that dhelp can use.
But /usr/share/doc/HTML/en/kdevelop tree is already deleted at that time :(
Rule never install docs below /usr/share/doc/HTML :)

Never tried it. Wild guess:
o use new libqt1g-dev instead of qt1g-dev (kdevelop was released
before qt1g* -> libqt1g* transsition.).
o most (all?) debian specific changes are in the checked into
CVS repository of KDE. So you may try to get the lasted 1.1.2
branch from the KDE CVS.

To me vi is Zen. To use vi is to practice zen. Every command is
a koan. Profound to the user, unintelligible to the uninitiated.
You discover truth everytime you use it.
