As downloaded from packages.debian.org, libfreeipmi12_1.1.5-4_amd64.deb
and libipmidetect0_1.1.5-4_amd64.deb contain symlinks, not directories
under usr/share/doc/, pointing to freeipmi-common.  However, I can
reproduce the issue:

# dpkg -i freeipmi-common_1.1.5-3_all.deb libipmidetect0_1.1.5-3_amd64.deb
# dpkg -i freeipmi-common_1.1.5-4_all.deb libipmidetect0_1.1.5-4_amd64.deb
# ls -ld /usr/share/doc/libipmidetect0
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 6 Oct 26 09:31 /usr/share/doc/libipmidetect0

which is certainly wrong.  But at the same time:

# dpkg --purge freeipmi-common libipmidetect0
# dpkg -i freeipmi-common_1.1.5-4_all.deb libipmidetect0_1.1.5-4_amd64.deb
# ls -ld /usr/share/doc/libipmidetect0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Jul 11 19:56 /usr/share/doc/libipmidetect0 -> freeipmi-common

which is the intended behaviour.  I'm investigating.
