For people not using helper tools (there are many of them), this means
*double* work for every package, because you have first to provide
symlinks and then you have to remove them.

I do not think it is reasonable.

The FHS migration will be painful enough so that we have to make it
twice. Better to do it at a time (on a per package basis), only *once*.

I would much prefer some sort of "light" release goal (i.e. not to be
interpreted very strictly). For example: "We will try to make all base and
priority >= standard packages in potato to use /usr/share/doc instead of
/usr/doc".
