The relevant Debian policy quote is 6.6. (4). I would suggest you add to the preinst of lbreakout2-data if test -L /usr/share/doc/lbreakout2-data; then rm /usr/share/doc/lbreakout2-data; fi and change lbreakout2-data so that /usr/share/doc/lbreakout2-data is a copy of /usr/share/doc/lbreakout2 instead of a symlink.
