That's simple enough. This all only works if there is no /usr/share/doc
and you can move /usr/doc in an atomic operation. IMHO, packages that
started using /usr/share/doc were premature in that usage and shouldn't
get special accomodation. For now, packages should be built to install
into /usr/doc without concern for whether that's a symlink or not. We
can worry about whether we want to deal with the symlink at a later
date.
