If so, don't hesitate to lower the severity! Yes, it does. I don't think lowering the severity is appropriate, but we can tell the testing migration scripts to ignore this bug if needed. Maybe just uploading the fix would be easier, since we still need other uploads for gir1.2 anyway. Either way is fine with me.

It seems like there *are* actually other causes for this bug: I agree with Michael Bienia[1] that the actual bug was probably in some old version which failed to do the transition properly. Together with Julien Cristau's comment[2] on the issue this sounds like a pretty good explanation. Meanwhile quite a few people[3][4] experienced this bug, so please apply my patch[5] now.

I don't know why *I* had a directory instead of a symbolic link, but I can think of at least one not very unlikely way: Imagine you install pango 1.28.3-4, then go back to an earlier version and re-upgrade some time later: You would be screwed. Since there is absolutely no downside in checking ones assumptions (i.e. /usr/share/doc/libpango1.0-0 being a symlink), I think you should re-consider applying the patch.
