Hi,

a test with piuparts revealed that your package uses files from
/usr/share/doc in its maintainer scripts which is a violation of
Policy 12.3: "Packages must not require the existence of any files in
/usr/share/doc/ in order to function."
https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-docs.html#additional-documentation

These files must be moved to /usr/share/$PACKAGE and may be symlinked
from /usr/share/doc/$PACKAGE.

This piuparts test prevents the installation of (most) files into
/usr/share/doc with 'dpkg --path-exclude=...'.

>From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...):

  Setting up urlview (1b-1) ...
  Error: The new file /usr/share/doc/urlview/examples/sample.urlview does not 
exist!
  dpkg: error processing package urlview (--configure):
   installed urlview package post-installation script subprocess returned error 
exit status 1
  Processing triggers for libc-bin (2.37-12) ...
  Errors were encountered while processing:

Cheers,

Andreas
