No, indeed, don't depend on doc-linux-html.
I suggest just shipping it yourself. That's a reasonable enough thing to
do: it won't necessarily be obvious to a user how to find documentation
for your package in the whole mass of doc-linux-html, and it will keep
the version of your documentation in sync with the rest of your package.
The documentation probably isn't large enough to make a huge impact.
Alternatively, you could suggest doc-linux-html and provide a pointer to
the exact location of the document, but I advise against that as the
exact location may change without a great deal of notice.
