For the specific case of shared libs, I've been making only one
directory, libreadline2 for example, and putting documentation for
both libreadline2 and libreadline2-dev in it.  There is only one
copyright and changelog file, installed by libreadline2.

For related packages which are not shared libraries, I think a symlink
in /usr/doc is appropriate.
