Re: /usr/share/doc vs. /usr/doc transition, debate reopened

Hi

Here is my idea for dealing with the /usr/share/doc problem. Have a
symlink in /usr/doc for each package which has moved to /usr/share/doc.
The symlinks could be created by the postinst of each package (imho not a
good idea), or dpkg could be modified to run scripts in
/etc/post-dpkg-install.d after installing or upgrading packages. A
/usr/doc compatability package would contain a script to create the
symlinks. This would also work if dpkg was not upgraded, except the script
would have to be run manually or from a cron job.
