Bug#775053: debbugs: postinst uses /usr/share/doc content (Policy 12.3): /usr/share/doc/debbugs/examples/config

Package: debbugs
Version: 2.4.1
Severity: serious
Tags: wheezy-ignore squeeze-ignore

Hi,

a test with piuparts revealed that your package uses files from
/usr/share/doc in its maintainer scripts which is a violation of
Policy 12.3: "Packages must not require the existence of any files in
/usr/share/doc/ in order to function."
https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-docs.html#s12.3

These files must be moved to /usr/share/$PACKAGE and may be symlinked
from /usr/share/doc/$PACKAGE.

This piuparts test prevents the installation of (most) files into
/usr/share/doc with 'dpkg --path-exclude=...'.
