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.
Russ, any thoughts? Is this a case of the wording in Policy needing some tightening?
