That was new for me, but after a test I see the problem, too. In squeeze
the both packages xfe-i18n and xfe-themes had only a symlink to the doc
directory of the main package xfe. But in wheezy they have all their own
doc directory.

So I will make an updated package. I hope the release team will unblock
them.
