Hmm, I just noticed that the preinst _does_ delete non-hidden symlinks
and regular files (although there probably shouldn't be any of the
latter) in /usr/share/doc.  I am merging with 280825 and retitling
accordingly, so people running apt-listbugs know they _really_ don't
want to install this before the fix comes in with tomorrow's dinstall run.
