Wouldn't just running
if [ -d /usr/doc ] && [ ! -L /usr/doc ]; then
rmdir --ignore-fail-on-non-empty /usr/doc;
fi
in the postinst resolve this issue without having the issues of
removing symlinks that the system administrator placed there on
purpose?
Granted, if the upgrade was split and basefile's postinst ran before
the other packages, the final cleanup would take another upgrade to go
into effect... but it would avoid mucking with files that don't belong
to basefiles.
