Package: general
Version: potato
New documentation is being installed in /usr/share/doc (whereas it was
installed in /usr/doc in the slink release)
This is fine, except that the default apache config still sets /doc/
URLs to /usr/doc
My system now has documentation in both /usr/doc (from slink) and
/usr/share/doc (from potato) -- sometimes for the same package (e.g.,
xserver_s3)
The dhelp package indexes all this nicely, but the URLs generated are
not useable by apache.
My solution at present is manually to delete documentation from
/usr/doc that is duplicated in /usr/doc and in /usr/share/doc, rename
stuff in /usr/doc to /usr/share/doc, and then to symlink
/usr/share/doc to /usr/doc
But this is UGLY.

Hi,
I think this bug has been dealt with now:
* The default Debian Apache configuration now aliases /doc/ to
/usr/share/doc/ by default;
* Almost every package now uses /usr/share/doc. See
http://qa.debian.org/fhs.html for the very few remaining exceptions,
all of which (should) have release-critical bugs filed about that.
I'm therefore closing this bug.
Cheers,
