Two solutions:
1) wait with fixing this until we move to 1.4.4 (e.g. move now, I will
see what I can do today)
2) add the following block to lazarus-ide.postinst

# In 1.4.0+dfsg-6 we moved the documentation files in
# /usr/lib/lazarus/<version>/docs to
/usr/share/doc/lazarus/<version>/docs and
# added a symlink from the former to the latter. However conform Policy¹
# old directories are never replaced by symlinks by dpkg, so we need to
do it
# manually. This code can be removed when we have a new upstream version.

DOCDIR=/usr/lib/lazarus/1.4.0/docs
if [ -d $DOCDIR -a ! -h $DOCDIR ] ; then
    rmdir $DOCDIR
    ln -s /usr/share/doc/lazarus/1.4.0/docs $DOCDIR
fi
