Hi Bernhard,
thanks for the clarifications.

Correct. It came to me, too, when chatting with Niels about it on IRC.
The arch:any packages install a changelog.Debian.$ARCH.gz file which
is not there in this case:

But then again I'd expect that this is the most common case of
--link-doc: A lean arch:any package with binary programs depending on
a much bigger arch:all package with architecture-independent data
files.

That's likely the way I'd go with zsh then, with the addition of some
additional symlinks from /usr/share/doc/zsh/something to
/usr/share/doc/zsh-common/something for most files not being
changelogs. *sigh*
Regards, Axel
