No, this is ../../html (jumping two levels teleports you to /usr/share - the html level does not count :p)

Correct - and there are definitely files in this directory.

I think the problem is that the webhttrack.files contained a "usr/share/doc/httrack/html/server" line (instead of "usr/httrack/html/server"), and the dh_* scripts saw it as a "true" directory.
Darn, this is a vicious packaging bug.. playing with the <new-preinst upgrade old-version> might be the solution to kick the simlink ?
