hard to say, best advice, don't, don't ever touch anything in /usr
except /usr/local/* which is yours to ROT13 rm -rf or whatever you
like.
/usr/doc symlinks are a temporary transition solution anyway until no
more packages are left that keep docs in this incorrect location,
after that /usr/doc will probably be removed altogether.
