     Files in /usr/share/doc' should not be referenced by any program, and
     the system administrator should be able to delete them without causing
     any programs to break.

Only thing I can see that resembles anything to do with this, is the above.

since the documentation is installed on upgrade, and postinst uses the files
here to create conffiles as needed, then there is no problem.

only problem I can see is a dpkg --configure call by the user. if the script
checks the doc copies exist first, there is again, no problem.

Mike.
