No, actually it is there. The problem is that, after fixing #632321,
this happens:

libudev0 is upgraded

udev preinst is run
[/usr/share/doc/udev is deleted by preinst to fix #632321]
udev is unpacked
[/usr/share/doc/udev is created again as a symlink to libudev0]
old files of udev are deleted
[/usr/share/doc/udev/changelog.gz etc are deleted, but thanks to the
symlink these are actually libudev0's files and the only copy]

I do not know how to solve this, so I am Cc'in debian-devel...

You should do the symlink conversion in the postinst instead when the
directory is supposed to be empty.

The real problem is that udev _also_ ships
/usr/share/doc/libudev0/copyright and has an unversioned Replaces on
libudev0. That's why "dpkg -L libudev0" does not list the file.

Sven

An unversioned Replaces should only be used against an old and
deprecated package. So that Replaces is wrong.

No, I had fixed that too but it did not help either.
Manually creating the symlink in postinst worked.

It must be very old, because I cannot find any references to it in the
changelog. I will try removing it in the next upload.
