For the -policy folks:

/usr/share/doc/gnome-users-guide-en/html is a link to

Policy says in section 4.5:

  In general, symbolic links within a top-level directory should be
  relative, and symbolic links pointing from one top-level directory
  into another should be absolute. (A top-level directory is a
  sub-directory of the root directory `/'.)

So, I like to hear your opinion what to do with this. Should I use a
absolute link or not?

Please Cc: me, I am not subscribed to -policy.
