As others say, many of them are symlinks and thus are OK.

You even missed packages and anything using doxygen has that
problem because of
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=630982.

I agree with the submitter, it doesn't make sense to hunt down such
copies and link them and *hope* it will work. doxygen uses it and should
do it itself.

You want to reject any doxygen generated doc? I am sure that will cause
people just *disable* those packages... Which isn't the goal.
