Bug#69311: Woody is now clean of /usr/doc

[Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>]

The last package that installed a directory into /usr/doc in woody was
fixed last night. There are still a few offenders left in unstable on
various architectures, but I don't think any of these are going to make
it into the release.

Since woody will release shortly, perhaps we should start deciding
exactly how to continue this transition for woody+1? As a reminder, the
original proposal
(http://lists.debian.org/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html) said:

     3.   At a later date, another policy (say, 4.X) shall ask for
          packages to no longer provide the link (and possibly remove
          links from /usr/doc). We can also provide a script (possibly
          in base-files postinst) that rm's symlinks from within
          /usr/doc. woody+1 may ship with such a script. (there was a
          proposal as well that potato+2 (woody+1) ships with just the
          prerms, and not the base file script, and potato+3 ships
          with the base-file script, but I am not sure this long a
          reversion period is required).
