If you can come up with a quantification of what constitutes
an easy case, and gather the difficult cases already provided in this
thread as known exceptions, and come up with a wording for the easy
case handling, we may be getting somewhere.
And policy can't punt on /usr/doc symlinks, really, since
policy is what mandates them in the first place.
