Setting up wesnoth-core (1:1.8.3-4) ...
rmdir: failed to remove `/usr/share/doc/wesnoth-core': Not a directory
These directories are symlinks now:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 20 août 12:25 /usr/share/doc/wesnoth ->
wesnoth-1.8-data
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 20 août 12:26 /usr/share/doc/wesnoth-core
-> wesnoth-1.8-data
The problem is in postinsts, trying to look at the file type with -d,
but this follows the symlink (as explained in the man). So, you'd
better use -L and invert the logic.
I'm not bumping the severity, as the upgrade finishes properly (from a
dpkg point of view at least), and the game still works nicely (affects
only documentation).
Regards.

As they are meant to be.

This is only cosmetic, the message isn't really causing any troubles
and a failed rmdir assumes that they are symlinks already. As you might
have noticed the install works and the symlinks point to the proper
place.

Actually it doesn't even affect the documentation as you noticed
yourself, the symlinks point to where they are meant to. I won't roll
another update of the package at this point of the freeze for an only
cosmetic message that appears only in some corner cases (like, new
installs of wesnoth and wesnoth-core without upgrades from the old
packages).
Thanks for paying attention to details nevertheless!
