This bug was fixed in the package debhelper - 8.1.0ubuntu1

---------------
debhelper (8.1.0ubuntu1) natty; urgency=low

  * Merge with Debian (LP: #714705); remaining changes:
    - dh_installinit: Add --upstart-only and --onlyscripts-upstart modes.
    - Add various autoscripts for above: postinst-upstart,
      postinst-upstart-replace, postinst-upstart-restart,
      prerm-upstart, prerm-upstart-norestart, preinst-removeconffile.
    - dh_installudev: Change default init.d symlink priority to 40.
    - dh_installchangelogs: Do not install upstream changelog in compat level
      7. This floods packages with huge upstream changelogs which take
      precious CD space.
    - dh_strip, dh_makeshlibs: use triplet-objdump, triplet-objcopy and
      triplet-strip from cross-binutils when cross-compiling; Debian #412118.
    - add dh_apparmor and autoscripts
    - debian/rules: override build target to set executable bit for
      dh_apparmor before actually running dh build, that is in order to get
      the manpage built for dh_apparmor.

  [ Joey Hess ]
  * python_distutils: Pass --force to setup.py build, to ensure that when
    python-dbg is run it does not win and result in scripts having it in
    the shebang line. Closes: #589759
  * Man page fixes about what program -u passes params to. Closes: #593342
  * Avoid open fd 5 or 6 breaking buildsystem test suite. Closes: #596679
  * Large update to Spanish man page translations by Omar Campagne.
    Closes: #600913
  * dh_installdeb: Support debian/package.maintscript files,
    which can contain dpkg-maintscript-helper commands. This can be used
    to automate moving or removing conffiles, or anything added to
    dpkg-maintscript-helper later on. Closes: #574443
    (Thanks, Colin Watson)
  * Massive man page typography patch. Closes: #600883
    (Thanks, David Prévot)
  * Explicitly build-depend on a new enough perl-base. Closes: #601188
  * dh: Inhibit logging when an override target runs the overridden command,
    to avoid unexpected behavior if the command succeeded but the overall
    target fails. Closes: #601037
  * Fix deprecated command list on translated debhelper(7) man pages.
    Closes: #601204
  * dh: Improve filtering in dh_listpackages example. Closes: #604561

    install-indep sequences. Closes: #604563
    (Thanks, Roger Leigh)
  * dh_listpackages: Do not display warnings if options cause no packages
    to be listed.
  * dh_installdocs: Clarify that debian/README.Debian and debian/TODO are
    only installed into the first package listed in debian/control.
    Closes: #606036
  * dh_compress: Javascript files are not compressed, as these go with
    (uncompressed) html files. Closes: #603553
  * dh_compress: Ignore objects.inv files, generated by Sphinx documentation.
    Closes: #608907
  * dh_installinit: never call init scripts directly, only through invoke-rc.d
    Closes: #610340
    (Thanks, Steve Langasek)
