Yes, please.

Can't we fix the use of "localhost" instead of <hostname> ?
Localhost is a valid and well-known name in every system. It tells
explicitly *where* are the pages.

great.

why not simply /usr/lib/debian-www/doc
and "http://<hostnamne>/debian/doc

Under /usr/doc we put a lot of stuff, only partly html. (examples for

I vote for moving the html that packages install now under
/usr/doc/<package> to /usr/lib/debian-www/documents (or simply __/doc)
and leave other (original) formats under /usr/doc, out of webspace.
