Yes. I'm afraid I used a confusing wording. What I meant was that I wanted to
make the packages do the transition from /usr/doc to /usr/share/doc, not that I
wanted to stop creating the symlink. In fact, I *want* it to create the
symlink, but it seems like it doesn't:

cybrdemo@carlos:~$ ls -ld /usr/doc/ibrazilian/
drwxr-xr-x    2 root     root         4096 Mar 30 00:12 /usr/doc/ibrazilian/
cybrdemo@carlos:~$ 

I'm beginning to get annoyed :(

Thanks,
Carlos
