Perhaps someone would like to upload a .deb that does nothing more than
maintain symlinks?

Something as simple as having a /etc/cron.daily script that does:

	[ -d /usr/doc ] || exit 0

	cd /usr/share/doc
	for dir in *; do
		[ -e "/usr/doc/$a" ] || ln -s /usr/share/doc/$a /usr/doc/$a
	done
	
seems to me like an acceptable solution at this point.

Cheers,
aj

I don't speak for anyone save myself. PGP encrypted mail preferred.
