Hi,
a test with piuparts revealed that your package misses the copyright
file after an upgrade, which is a violation of Policy 12.5:
http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-docs.html#s-copyrightfile
After the upgrade /usr/share/doc/$PACKAGE/ is just an empty directory.
This was observed on the following upgrade paths:

Note that dpkg intentionally does not replace directories with symlinks
and vice versa, you need the maintainer scripts to do this.
See in particular the end of point 4 in
http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-maintainerscripts.html#s-unpackphase
For switching from a directory to a symlink the *postinst* script
should do something like this:
DOCDIR=/usr/share/doc/@@PACKAGE@@
DOCLINK=@@OTHERPACKAGE@@
if [ -d $DOCDIR ] && [ ! -L $DOCDIR ]; then
rmdir $DOCDIR
ln -s $DOCLINK $DOCDIR
fi
For switching from a symlink to a directory, the *preinst* script
should do something like this:
DOCDIR=/usr/share/doc/@@PACKAGE@@
if [ -L $DOCDIR ]; then
rm $DOCDIR
fi
cheers,
Andreas
