This is interesting. The openafs source package does:
# Symlink /usr/share/doc for some packages.
override_dh_installdocs-indep:
dh_installdocs $(DOC_PACKAGES) --link-doc=openafs-client
dh_installdocs --remaining-packages
where DOC_PACKAGES is:
DOC_PACKAGES = -plibpam-openafs-kaserver -popenafs-fuse -popenafs-kpasswd
This used to work, but indeed seems to just be ignored in the current
build, resulting in real /usr/share/doc directories for those packages.
I wonder if something about dh_installdocs behavior changed or is broken?
