Bug Description

> dpkg -S libglib2.0-doc
 /usr/share/doc/libglib2.0-doc/xxx.html

the documentation is suppose to be under /usr/share/gtk-doc/html/. Moving it around without symlinking, breaks all the cross references.
I know what I am talking about - I am the gtk-doc maintainer. Please leaft the sthings as they are in that sense or at least discuss it with the upstream.
You got one month to fix all the packages or hell awaits you :) Seriously, please provide an update.

Atleast a symlink would help:
ln -s /usr/share/doc/gconf2/html /usr/share/gtk-doc/html/gconf
ln -s /usr/share/doc/libbonoboui2-common/html /usr/share/gtk-doc/html/libbonoboui

ln -s /usr/share/doc/liborbit2-dev/ORBit2 /usr/share/gtk-doc/html/ORBit2
ln -s /usr/share/doc/libglib2.0-doc/glib /usr/share/gtk-doc/html/glib

ln -s /usr/share/doc/libpango1.0-doc /usr/share/gtk-doc/html/pango
ln -s /usr/share/doc/libgnomecanvas2-doc /usr/share/gtk-doc/html/libgnomecanvas

Check the broken ones:
find /usr/share/doc -name "index.sgml"

Check the subdir for the links (look at the href)
find . -name "index.sgml" -exec head -n1 {} \;

Thanks for your report; we're aware of it, and it affects a bunch of packages, but it's painful to fix. I guess we have to. :-/

Note that there are symlinks, but the other way around! ;-)
