It looks like this is fixed in jaunty, but intrepid has 0.8.16:
doc-base (0.8.18) unstable; urgency=medium
* install-docs.in: include $opt_rootdir in used vars not to fail when
Perl is in unusable state (closes: #501874). In such a case install-docs
should try to recover on next invokation (see entry for version 0.8.4)
