A 100% solution would be adding usr-doc-link by hand in your backport or enhance the debhelper backport to do this. Backporting lintian (which will now complain if you do set a usr/doc link (AFAIK)) isn't really doing anything to address the problem, OTOH if you're not building packages for official Debian (which you are not if you use a backported toolchain), you may just get by without the usr/doc link, so a backported lintian might suit your needs. In summary, it's a bit dependend on your goals: Do you want packages 100% following stable policy or do you want packages following the current policy. Except for official updates to stable I don't really see a lot of argument for the former. Cheers T.
