It's ok, if certain conditions hold:
Debian policy manual, section 5.6
/usr/doc/<package-name> may be a symbolic link to a directory in
/usr/doc only if two packages both come from the same source and the
first package has a "Depends" relationship on the second. These rules
are important because copyrights must be extractable by mechanical
means.
