Imagine
exe2 is linked to libpolyorb2
exe3 is linked to libpolyorb3
Breaks/Replace would unexpectedly make those executables not
coinstallable. I think this is bad.
From
http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-sharedlibs.html#s-sharedlibs-support-files:
If your package contains files whose names do not change with each
change in the library shared object version, you must not put them
in the shared library package. Otherwise, several versions of the
shared library cannot be installed at the same time without filename
clashes, making upgrades and transitions unnecessarily difficult.

libpolyorb-doc: /usr/share/man
or, easyer to find:
libpolyorb-doc: /usr/share/doc/libpolyorb-doc
