/usr/share/doc/openjdk-6-jre-headless is a symlink to openjdk-6-jre,
which are both in openjdk-6-jre-headless. openjdk-6-jre depends on
openjdk-6-jre-headless. While unusual this is not a violation of
policy.
I'd argue that the intention of policy 12.5 is certainly that package A
must contain /usr/share/doc/A, either directly or as a symlink to
/usr/share/doc/B. Policy uses "<package>" throughout when it means the
precise name of a binary package containing the file being discussed.
