I have some really hard trouble reproducing this in a small test case,
or even understanding how this could possibly hit with perl. The doc
/perl-base -> perl symlink wouldn't even be valid in a debian/perl-base/
build tree, as it cannot be resolved. pkgstripfiles just ignores invalid
symlinks.
But I'm fairly convinced that this specific instance is a perl specific
problem. It does some really nasty manual shell hacks to install
documentation (no debhelper at all), and I added a test case with a
similar scenario which it handles just fine.

Title:
pkgstripfiles: md5sum incorrect when doc dir is a symlink
Status in “pkgbinarymangler” package in Ubuntu:
In Progress
Bug description:
pkgstripfiles doesn't update the md5sum if /usr/share/doc/$pkg is a
symlink to another dir inside the same pacakge.
For example in perl-base contains the following files:
-rw-r--r-- root/root 163 2011-11-28 20:05 ./usr/share/doc/perl/Documentation
-rw-r--r-- root/root 1483 2011-11-28 20:05 ./usr/share/doc/perl/README.Debian
-rw-r--r-- root/root 87099 2011-11-28 20:05 ./usr/share/doc/perl/copyright
-rw-r--r-- root/root 19009 2011-09-26 09:44 ./usr/share/doc/perl/AUTHORS.gz
-rw-r--r-- root/root 3329 2011-12-16 12:38 ./usr/share/doc/perl/changelog.Debian.gz
lrwxrwxrwx root/root 0 2011-12-16 12:38 ./usr/share/doc/perl-base -> perl
pkgstripfiles reports:
> pkgstripfiles: Truncating usr/share/doc/perl-base/changelog.Debian.gz to topmost ten records
So it modifies usr/share/doc/perl-base/changelog.Debian.gz which
really is usr/share/doc/perl/changelog.Debian.gz and thus tries to
update the wrong file in md5sums.
