changelog and /usr/share/doc/package as a symlink

[Oohara Yuuma <oohara@libra.interq.or.jp>]

Suppose that a source package makes two .deb, "package-data" and "package"
(which depends on "package-data"), and /usr/share/doc/package is a symlink
to /usr/share/doc/package-data .  Should "package" depend on exactly the
same version of "package-data"?

allows any version
-> changelog may be out of date if only "package" is upgraded

depneds on the same version
-> forces the user to download huge "package-data" on each upgrade
