Bug#757046: cyrus-clients-2.4: heavy dependency on cyrus-common-2.4

Package: cyrus-clients-2.4
Version: 2.4.17+caldav~beta10-1
Severity: important

cyrus-clients-2.4 now depends on cyrus-common-2.4, a large server-side
package (44.5 MB on amd64), so that it can establish a binNMU-safe
/usr/share/doc symlink.  This dependency is massive overkill; please
just duplicate the doc directory here.  (To that end, please predepend
on dpkg (>= 1.17.5) and use dpkg-maintscript-helper symlink_to_dir, as
documented in its man page.)

Thanks!
