This is deliberate. The gcc-doc package has been obsoleted.

These are the successors to gcc-doc, and they properly declare themselves as
such (via Replaces: and Conflicts: relations).

I wouldn't qualify it as extremely stupid, but more as a "don't do that,

problem does not occur with sid, as these packages are no longer available
in unstable)
