Hi,

grub2-common 2.12-9 had the above symlink:

lrwxrwxrwx root/root         0 2025-07-03 18:35:51 ./usr/share/doc/grub2-common 
-> grub-common

So does 2.14~git20250718.0e36779-2 (current testing):

paul@toba ~ $ dpkg -S /usr/share/doc/grub2-common
grub2-common: /usr/share/doc/grub2-common
paul@toba ~ $ apt list grub2-common

paul@toba ~ $ ls -ald /usr/share/doc/grub2-common
