Package: latex-ucs-doc
Version: 20041017-5
Severity: important

Debian TeX policy states:

     A package must not install files into (subdirectories of)
     `/usr/share/texmf/doc', which is a symbolic link to
     `/usr/share/doc/texmf'.

but this package does it.
As an effect of this, latex-ucs-doc prevents upgrades of tex-common with
a file conflict message:

Preparing to replace tex-common 0.28 (using .../tex-common_0.29_all.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement tex-common ...
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/tex-common_0.29_all.deb 
(--unpack):
 trying to overwrite `/usr/share/texmf/doc', which is also in package 
latex-ucs-doc
Errors were encountered while processing:
 /var/cache/apt/archives/tex-common_0.29_all.deb
