The symlink is proper part of the package and should thus not require
any handling in the maintainer script (as far as I know).

Even reinstalling yubikey-manager leaves the directory intact.

I guess that was the case for my system, at least I don't have dpkg.log
entries for the upgrade to 4.0.7-1 any more.

I'd keep that for longer than bookworm, maybe bracketed with code that
only executes if /usr/share/doc/yubikey-manager is a proper directory.

If you choose to go that way, I'll leave my system broken to be able to
report back. Let me know.
