I suggest that a symbolic link LANG_C be installed in /usr/doc,
pointing that same directory (cd /usr/doc; ln -s . LANG_C). This lets
dwww or another program search in the order Oliver suggests, without
forcing all Debian maintainers and all Debian users to change from
their current use of /usr/doc.
