Stop, what's going on here. This is hlp. I thought we talk about txt.
That's a little bit wired, but I read in some bug reports that dpkg
treats symlinks to directories like directories, i.e. they must be empty.

How does /usr/share/doc/jed-common/txt look like? Is it a directory or a
symlink? And what happens with /usr/share/jed/doc?

I think we must use the attached jed-common.preinst

Schöne Grüße, Jörg.
