Some months ago I tried to start on discussion on this. Note that chimera
puts them on the system as well, but yet into another directory.

How can we resolve this? Which package should provide these file? And maybe a

	/etc/debian-doc.html		(tentative name)
into which pointers for documentation could be put?
