The wording seems to forbid this, but the indirect links don't violate
the rationale (still extractable by mechanical means).

I don't think policy allows this kind of indirect dependency, actually:
/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.

Package: lintian
Version: 1.0
E: gstep-base-dbg: usr-doc-symlink-without-dependency gstep-base
gstep-base-dbg depends on gstep-base-dev, which depends on gstep-base,
so linitian misses this indirect dependency on gstep-base.
