Assuming that /usr/share/{info,man} doesn't yet exist, one of two
commands would do it easily.

	mv /usr/{info,man} /usr/share

if /usr & /usr/share are on the same file-system.

	cp -r /usr/{info,man} /usr/share

if they aren't (first checking for space of course).

I'm suggesting that this be done by manpages or man-db as part of
their postinst.  The only window of exposure is then between the mv or
the 'cp && rm' and the 'ln -s'.

If they do currently exist are /usr/{info,man} isn't a sym-link, who's
started on FHS compliance early? :)
