By the way, is there any hope of getting rid of /usr/doc when sarge
releases?  Extrapolating from my my woody installation, it seems that
all (?) woody packages have maintainer scripts that behave well if
/usr/doc disappears, so something like

  if [ -d /usr/doc ] && ! ls -Ul /usr/doc | grep -q '^[^lt]'
  then
      echo Removing obsolete /usr/doc directory
      rm -f /usr/doc/* && rmdir /usr/doc
  fi

in base-files.postinst ought to get rid of /usr/doc now for most users.
