Argh, those damn doc symlinks, I know why I hate them.
In squeeze, python-gobject-dbg was an actual package where
/usr/share/doc/python-gobject-dbg/ was symlinked to
/usr/share/doc/python-gobject/
In squeeze that symlink dance was updated for the new binary package name:
The relevant bits from squeeze's debian/rules:
rm -rf debian/python-gobject-dbg/usr/share/doc/python-gobject-dbg
ln -sf python-gobject
debian/python-gobject-dbg/usr/share/doc/python-gobject-dbg
This was changed to
rm -rf debian/python-gi-dbg/usr/share/doc/python-gi-dbg
ln -sf python-gi debian/python-gi-dbg/usr/share/doc/python-gi-dbg
python-gobject-dbg is now a transitional package only which pulls in
python-gi-dbg and python-gobject-2-dbg.
Let's drop those stupid doc symlinks altogether.
