I admit that it looks a bit surprising, but it's like in other
packages, and I've tested
(a) this ln syntax manually [0]
(b) and installing the new package in a chroot after making sure that
    /usr/share/doc/geda is a directory, and it was a symlink
    afterwards.

But if you like to write it differently I'm happy to cancel the NMU
or upload a version where $target is the full path.

Cheers,
gregor
