If that would be files in /etc I would point you to the configuration management by dpkg (as a removed file is a configuration change, too, so dpkg preserves it) – that isn't the case here, but someone else might stumble over this thread. In your case with /usr/share/doc and manpages effected: Is this a container? It is relatively popular to use path-excludes in them, so have a look at /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg and /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg.d/*. There might be stanzas like: path-exclude /usr/share/man/* path-exclude /usr/share/doc/* in there. If that is the case, it has nothing to do with your package and works as intended™. (Disclaimer: If excludes by default are a good or bad idea can highly depend on the usecase and is out of scope for my reply) Best regards David Kalnischkies
