Wouldn't just running if [ -d /usr/doc ] && [ ! -L /usr/doc ]; then rmdir --ignore-fail-on-non-empty /usr/doc; fi in the postinst resolve this issue without having the issues of removing symlinks that the system administrator placed there on purpose? Granted, if the upgrade was split and basefile's postinst ran before the other packages, the final cleanup would take another upgrade to go into effect... but it would avoid mucking with files that don't belong to basefiles.
