Let's presume you've sorted out the order...

Well, what's interesting is what comes after the ../ and I presume
that's usually ../share/doc as /usr/doc is being migrated to
/usr/share/doc. So, as well as your pseudo-user doc, you need one
called share (an even less likely name for a real person).
The other dozen or so directories in /usr are equally unlikely to
collide with peoples' names.
