Package: wpasupplicant
Version: 2.3-2
Severity: minor

All the docs are correctly filed in /usr/share/doc/<packagename>, but
there's also an empty directory apparently using the upstream name.

	$ dpkg -L wpasupplicant 
	/.
	/etc
	/etc/network
	[...]
	/usr/share/doc/wpasupplicant
	/usr/share/doc/wpasupplicant/README.gz
	/usr/share/doc/wpasupplicant/README-WPS.gz
	/usr/share/doc/wpasupplicant/README-P2P.gz
	/usr/share/doc/wpasupplicant/README.Debian.gz
	/usr/share/doc/wpasupplicant/changelog.Debian.gz
	/usr/share/doc/wpasupplicant/NEWS.Debian.gz
	/usr/share/doc/wpasupplicant/changelog.gz
	/usr/share/doc/wpasupplicant/examples
	[...]
	/etc/ifplugd/action.d/action_wpa
 =====>	/usr/share/doc/wpa_supplicant
	/usr/share/doc/wpasupplicant/README.modes.gz

(Oddly enough libengine-pkcs11-openssl on the suggests list has a
significantly worse version of this bug - see #797529)
