Ages ago I meant to propose a policy amendment that reserved all-caps
directories in /usr/share/doc for major documentation packages like the
RFCs and the HOWTOs, to get away from the (IMHO) ugly
/usr/share/doc/doc-rfc directory for this sort of thing. The package
name in itself doesn't bother me so much.
I'll write it up as soon as I work out what I mean by "major
documentation packages".
