Huh? Sorry, but I don't get your point. The DOCID is used to identify a
document. It's like the `Package:' field of a .deb or `Source:' field of a
.dsc file. It _has_ to be unique, since that's what the field is for.
Note, that this field will also eventually be used for inter-document
cross-references, as what's planned for debiandoc-sgml.
Please give me more details about which problems you see with the current
use of the Document-ID field.

I need more details about this, too.
Note, that there are two different kind of files: those which are only
touched at installation time (and thus could be on a /usr directory) and
thus which could be touched at run-time, for example, if the user suddenly
wants to get some PostScript printed documentation.
Thanks,
Chris
