Bug#359432: install-doc: please finish /usr/doc transition



Package: install-doc

install-doc still creates a /usr/doc symlink. Since 2002, policy has
not required these symlinks, and we're waiting for all packages to be
updated to remove them before the /usr/share/doc transition can be
complete. This package is one of the few packages that still makes
the symlink.

If your package uses debhelper, you should be able to fix this bug by
simply rebuilding the package. If it does not, you should remove the
symlink management code from your maintainer scripts. If the symlink
creation code was implemented properly before, your package should
remove the old symlinks in its postrm when upgraded. If you don't use
debhelper (or even if you do), please check that the symlink is gone
after upgrade.

Please see bug #322762 for some more details.
