I'm not sure, if this is still a problem, but there's no code dealing with
removal of symlinks in .../doc/$PF in the latest stable ebuild.

It probably is. Care to provide a patch?

Well, lanius solved this by adding 

pkg_preinst() {
        # cleanups
        rm -fR /usr/share/doc/${PN}*
}

to cups and it's probably a good idea to clean out docs of previous versions as
well. On the other hand putting 

[ -n "${PF}" ] && rm -fR /usr/share/doc/${PF} in pkg_postrm() 

would be a bit more safe. An accidentally empty $PN would not be funny in the
first case.

better make that

pkg_postrm(){
    [ -n "${PF}" ] && rm -rf ${ROOT}/usr/share/doc/${PF}
}

Security fixes only for the monolith now.
