usr-share-doc-symlink-to-foreign-package
If the package installs a symbolic link
/usr/share/doc/pkg1 -> pkg2, then pkg1
and pkg2 must both come from the same source package.
The best solution is probably to stop symlinking the
/usr/share/doc directory for this package and instead include a
real /usr/share/doc/pkg1 directory within pkg1 with the
appropriate contents (such as the copyright and
changelog.Debian.gz files).
