 Then I am wondering why the symbolic links from /usr/doc/<package> to
/usr/share/doc/<package> are failing because /usr is remounted readonly
already?  Isn't that a thing that is done in the postinst, or is that
even done much later?  According to what the debhelper package does that
_is_ done in the postinst, and it fails, if I remount /usr ro in the
Post-Invoke.

 So please, try to examine that, I really doesn't seem that the
Post-Invoke is done after the postinst.  It's not that the remount
doesn't work - it simply works too soon.

 So long,
Alfie
