Symlinks are there in order to 1. Simplify the maintaining of the package, as there is no need to take care of too many directories and what goes where (there have errors in the past caused by too many binary packages built by console-setup and having to watch too many files if they need to be updated). 2. Help the user find the documentation. What can be a problem for the maintainer is most certainly a bigger problem for the casual user who has to dig into various directories and combine the split information. 3. In some cases separate directories lead to artificial and unnecessary split of the information. If the patch of Sven works, it is going to save us from lots of future headaches.
