Package: python-sympy-doc

Hi,

a test with piuparts revealed that your package uses files from
/usr/share/doc in its maintainer scripts which is a violation of
Policy 12.3: "Packages must not require the existence of any files in
/usr/share/doc/ in order to function."
https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-docs.html#additional-documentation

These files must be moved to /usr/share/$PACKAGE and may be symlinked
from /usr/share/doc/$PACKAGE.

This piuparts test prevents the installation of (most) files into
/usr/share/doc with 'dpkg --path-exclude=...'.

>From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...):

  Setting up python-sympy-doc (1.7.1-2) ...
  sh: 0: cannot open /usr/share/doc/python-sympy-doc/sympy-live.sh: No such file
  dpkg: error processing package python-sympy-doc (--configure):
   installed python-sympy-doc package post-installation script subprocess 
returned error exit status 2
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   python-sympy-doc


Cheers,

Andreas
