Hardly, but it does not really matter.  You just remove the offending
symlink after verifying that it is indeed, err, a symlink:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
if [ -L /usr/share/doc/perl-modules ]; then
        rm -f /usr/share/doc/perl-modules
fi
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

That snippet in the preinst script is all you need.
