[Alex Kompel]

Public bug reported:

tar source package fails to build with nodoc build profile
(DEB_BUILD_PROFILES="nodoc")

$ lsb_release -rd
Description:    Ubuntu 18.04.6 LTS
Release:        18.04

$ apt-get source tar
$ cd tar-1.29b
$ DEB_BUILD_PROFILES="nodoc nocheck" debuild -us -uc

debian/rules:87: recipe for target 'binary-arch' failed
make: *** [binary-arch] Error 1
dpkg-buildpackage: error: fakeroot debian/rules binary subprocess returned exit status 2

-----

dh_installdocs and dh_installman  are no-op under nodoc profile so build
script should not assume that doc files are present:
