If it doesn't, then /usr/doc/foo/document-file won't exists, so
it seems it should?

On the other hand, these packages install in `foo' rather than in
`foo-doc' and none of their postinst files do it: 

 apache-doc -> /usr/share/doc/apache/
 cvs-doc -> /usr/share/doc/cvs/
 python-doc -> /usr/share/doc/python/

So there must be some reason.
