install-docs should be shipped not executable in  doc-base .deb and
doc-base postinst should a+x it. (and prerm should a-x it).

This way packages will not be able to use it before it is configured 
properly.

If some package do not check if install-docs is executable before calling it
we will need to divert it to install-docs.real and add a script
/usr/sbin/install-docs like:

#! /bin/sh

if test -x /usr/sbin/install-docs.real; then
  exec /usr/sbin/install-docs "$@"
fi
