Using the symlinks command (as suggested in comment #7), I verified the
issue is solved in Lucid, Precise and Utopic:
$ symlinks -r /usr/share/doc/linux-doc/|grep dangling|wc

Bug description:
The linux-doc package contains many symlinks that refer to the build
process and are not present on an installed system. For example:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 67 Oct 5 04:03 /usr/share/doc/linux-
doc/html/audio.xml ->
/build/buildd/linux-3.5.0/Documentation/DocBook/media/dvb/audio.xml
And there are many of them:
$ symlinks -r /usr/share/doc/linux-doc/ | grep dangling | wc
151 604 20939
This is with the latest package available in quantal:
Package: linux-doc
Version: 3.5.0-17.27
