Every entry in /usr/share/doc needs to have a symlink in /usr/doc, I suggest
you file a bug report against the package that made /usr/share/doc/kde.

There was a bug in dpkg that prevented doing that at the time we needed to
start switching from /usr/doc/* to /usr/share/doc/*, so we did this.
It should be possible just to rm -rf /usr/doc and make the symlink yourself
now.
