Yep, the perl-doc package diverts /usr/bin/perldoc
to /usr/bin/perldoc.stub without consulting $Config{scriptdir}.
cjac@dev0:/usr/src/deb/perl-5.10.1$ grep divert debian/perl*doc*
debian/perl-doc.postrm: dpkg-divert --remove --package perl-doc --rename \
debian/perl-doc.postrm: --divert /usr/bin/perldoc.stub /usr/bin/perldoc
debian/perl-doc.preinst: dpkg-divert --add --package perl-doc --rename \
debian/perl-doc.preinst: --divert /usr/bin/perldoc.stub /usr/bin/perldoc
debian/perl.perldoc:# place-holder, diverted by perl-doc
