Yes, it's a bug. Please report it. Packages were already supposed to have docs physically in /usr/share/doc in woody. BTW: I would like to remove /usr/doc in base-files so that sarge installs made from scratch do not have a /usr/doc at all. The only thing which prevents me from doing that is that Manoj sort-of convinced me that according to policy, packages may in principle assume blindly that /usr/doc exists when creating/removing the symlinks. Does anyone have a good estimation about the number of packages which currently do this? (That is, assume *blindly* that /usr/doc exists).
