Sure, when I was filing the report I had no idea what's really going on
- the only indications were `dpkg -V` reporting missing files, and
broken links in /usr/share/doc.

** Description changed:

  Also reported on https://github.com/tianon/docker-brew-ubuntu-
  core/issues/230
  
  Using official Jammy image in Docker (macOS) and Podman (Fedora).
  In both cases, using CLI in the image and running
  
  apt install singular-doc
  dpkg -V singular-doc
  reports a lot of missing files. In fact, the only present files are dangling 
links to missing files in the package.
+ (EDIT: the latter should not be there, it contradics `exclude` policy for 
dpkg installed in the Docker image)
+ 
  The package itself is not broken - extracting it in Jammy not in 
Docker/Podman (say, in an lxc container) works.
  And extracting it in Debian/bookworm CLI run in Docker works too.
  
  As well, the same behaviour is observed using the corresponding
  singular-doc_4.2.1-p3+ds-1_all.deb file, and installing it using dpkg
  -i. This points to dpkg as the culprit.
