+ be sufficient for how Policy uses debiandoc-sgml and pulls in far
+ fewer packages.
+ * Remove the postinst and prerm scripts. doc-base registration is now
+ handled by triggers and no longer required and removal of /usr/doc
+ links was completed long ago.
+ * Reference GPL-2 rather than the GPL symlink in debian/copyright.
