So does 2.14~git20250718.0e36779-2 (current testing):

paul at toba ~ $ dpkg -S /usr/share/doc/grub2-common
grub2-common: /usr/share/doc/grub2-common
paul at toba ~ $ apt list grub2-common
grub2-common/testing,now 2.14~git20250718.0e36779-2 amd64 
[installed,automatic]
paul at toba ~ $ ls -ald /usr/share/doc/grub2-common
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 Oct  2  2023 /usr/share/doc/grub2-common -> 
grub-common
