Package: libgtk2.0-0
Version: 2.12.5-1
Severity: serious

In this version, libgtk2.0-0 no longer has a versioned dependency on
libgtk2.0-common.  That means that you must not symlink
/usr/share/doc/libgtk2.0-0 to libgtk2.0-common, see policy section 12.3.
Similarly, /usr/share/doc/libgtk2.0-bin must not link to libgtk2.0-0.

When you close this bug, don't forget to delete existing symlinks in
your preinst scripts.
