Bug description:
  The linux-doc package contains many symlinks that refer to the build
  process and are not present on an installed system.  For example:

  lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 67 Oct  5 04:03 /usr/share/doc/linux-
  doc/html/audio.xml ->
  /build/buildd/linux-3.5.0/Documentation/DocBook/media/dvb/audio.xml

  And there are many of them:

  $ symlinks -r /usr/share/doc/linux-doc/ | grep dangling | wc
      151     604   20939

  This is with the latest package available in quantal:

  Package: linux-doc
  Version: 3.5.0-17.27
