cleaning /usr/doc vs /usr/share/doc



until i have the budget, i'm looking to free up some space
from redundant doc files (then i'll be able to gripe about
not being able to find any docs, of course)...

somewhere in the frozen potato era, debian went from
using /usr/doc to /usr/share/doc. there are many
symlinks from one to the other, but they're far from
'paired up' on my potato box.

quick: is there an apt-get --purge command i can follow
with an apt-get install command to freshen up my doc
tree?

p.s. i also at one time installed perl 5.6 because at
the time i believed everything i read (i'm feeling much
better now). during the install, i managed to get the
perldocs duplicated hither and yon as well -- i recall
the install asking for a prefix to use for the manpages,
and of course like a true genius, i chose to not use any.
any clean way of zapping these?
