Michael and I quickly discussed this: - We should drop the doc dir symlinking. It's causing unexpected issues like this, directory symlinks behave in a weird way for usages like this, and it's not saving a lot of disk space. De-duplicating identical documentation should be addressed at a more generic level. This will require some cleaning in the preinst, but it's a well-known and tried and true recipe. - README.Debian contains a lot of obsolete and outright wrong information. We should trim most of it, just leave the (few) Debian specific integration issues, and refer to the (upstream) manpages otherwise IMHO. Proposal: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9941247/ Niels pre-approved this for jessie already, so let's get this in ASAP?
