Package: dlocate
Version: 0.5-0.1
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 12.3

Section 12.3 of Debian policy "Additional documentation" says:

"Former Debian releases placed all additional documentation in
/usr/doc/package. This has been changed to /usr/share/doc/package, and
packages must not put documentation in the directory
/usr/doc/package."

I believe this package violates this rule by installing a symlink in
/usr/doc/. It is the aim that etch will not have any packages
installing things into the directory /usr/doc/.

I believe this bug can be rectified by simply building and uploading a
new Debian version of this package.
