Some are detected to be hardware issues, some are not. Also when it's
considered a hardware issue people have reported that a removal fixes
the issue; see for instance comment #5 in bug #1346809.

Is it really necessary that dpkg carries out that check? Can't it just
install the link and overwrite whatever with the same name was there
before? I agree it would be good to fix it in dpkg. If that's not
possible, some workaround in ubuntu-docs would indeed be helpful.
