This is not as simple. Symlinking /usr/doc/<package> to /usr/share/doc/<package> directly is not supported by dpkg, so additional and ugly tweaks would be required in maintainer scripts. I think this is much worse than doing the transition directly. I object to this proposal. Thanks. -- "8597d5e2ceb52a94962e55bb92362f78" (a truly random sig)
