Package: uzbl
Version: 0.0.0~git.20091107-1
Justification: Policy 12.3
Severity: serious

When starting up for the first time, uzbl attempts to copy files
from /usr/share/doc/uzbl to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME, and fails if it can't:

 $ sudo mv /usr/share/doc/uzbl /usr/share/doc/unuzbl
 $ uzbl || echo $?
 cp: cannot stat `/usr/share/doc/uzbl/examples/config/uzbl/config': No such 
file or directory
 Could not copy default config to /home/jbr/etc/uzbl/config
 3

This violates a "must" in Debian Policy 12.3 (paragraph 4):

# Packages must not require the existence of any files in
# '/usr/share/doc/' in order to function*. Any files that are
# referenced by programs but are also useful as stand alone
# documentation should be installed under '/usr/share/<package>/'
# with symbolic links from '/usr/share/doc/<package>'.
# [...]
# * The system administrator should be able to delete files in
#   '/usr/share/doc/' without causing any programs to break.
