Since both wesnoth-1.10 and wesnoth-1.10-core are symlinks to /usr/share/doc/wesnoth-1.10-data, I'm assuming that your intention was for /usr/share/doc/wesnoth to be a symlink to /usr/share/doc/wesnoth-1.10-data as well, right? Assuming that this is correct, I propose the following patch (which I've also committed into the git repo). It creates the symlink in the rules file, and includes a postinst script for the wesnoth package to overwrite the /usr/share/doc/wesnoth directory as a symlink for users who already have the current wesnoth package in wheezy installed (heavily based on libpipeline's postinst script). (I admit I haven't tested this yet, but I'll do so ASAP.) Regards, Vincent
