Okay, but why would /usr/share/doc/gaim not exist at all? That link is
included in the gaim package.

If the directory /usr/share/doc/gaim does not exist, then

! -h /usr/share/doc/gaim

evaluates to TRUE (because /usr/share/doc/gaim isn't a link-- it has to
exist to be a link), and therefore 'rmdir' is called.  Problem is, rmdir
will error out when you try to remove a non-existent directory, saying:
rmdir:  `/usr/share/doc/gaim`: No such file or directory

Because there was an error in postinst, dpkg stops, saying there was an
error, and the user has to intervene to get the package to install.
