Then making the /usr/doc become a symlink to /usr/share/doc (and all the moving invloved with it) should be in a base package that depends on _that_ version of dpkg (most likely basefiles itself). Then the worst scenario is using newer packages without the newer basefiles/dpkg, which would simply have some docs in /usr/doc and some in /usr/share/doc. All of this being fixed by the upgrade to the dpkg/basefiles that support this change. Ben
