Hi I think I found a way to solve the bug.

1-/ download the package and unzip it in a working directory (~/work for 
example).
2-/ go to ~/work/lilypond-doc_2.18.0-1_all/DEBIAN directory and suppress the 
files named "postinst", "postrm" and "preinst".
3-/ go to the extraction directory (~/work)
4-/ create the new deb file : dpkg -b lilypond-doc_2.18.0-1_all/ 
lilypond-doc_2.18.0-2_all.deb (I've changed the name of the file.deb but I'm 
not sure it is necessary).
5-/ install the new package with sudo dpkg -i lilypond-doc_2.18.0-2_all.deb. 

The doc is in place in the directory.
