No, we don't *need* any script to do this. One thing is that dpkg allows this to be done and another different one is that we *have* to do it. We agreed to make the transition on a per package basis. If we consider the transition almost finished and we want an empty /usr/doc we have just to *stop* requiring symlinks in maintainer scripts (which is something that we would do sooner or later). Once we stop making symlinks in /usr/doc, this directory will be emptied by itself, cleanly, and without risking the integrity of the system by complex scripts.
