dh_installdocs causes making a /usr/doc link

[Marcel Kolaja <mkolaja@mistral.cz>]

Hello,

while lintian run I am getting this warning:

W: smb-network: postinst-should-not-set-usr-doc-link
N:
N:   The technical committee chose the symlink transition method to move
N:   from FSSTND to FHS. That transition has been completed with woody and
N:   thus this link is no longer required.
N:

This is because dh_installdocs, called from debian/rules, puts this in
debian/smb-network.postinst.debhelper:

# Automatically added by dh_installdocs
if [ "$1" = "configure" ]; then
	if [ -d /usr/doc -a ! -e /usr/doc/smb-network -a -d /usr/share/doc/smb-network ]; then
		ln -sf ../share/doc/smb-network /usr/doc/smb-network
	fi
fi
# End automatically added section

Why does dh_installdocs behave in an obsolete way? Is it a bug in
dh_installdocs?


Regards,

Marcel Kolaja
