I don't know why *I* had a directory instead of a symbolic link, but I
can think of at least one not very unlikely way: Imagine you install
pango 1.28.3-4, then go back to an earlier version and re-upgrade some
time later: You would be screwed.

Since there is absolutely no downside in checking ones assumptions
(i.e. /usr/share/doc/libpango1.0-0 being a symlink), I think you should
re-consider applying the patch.

However, it's your decision; feel free to close the bug if you want to.

Best regards
