You could install the documentation into /usr/share/doc/package/html
and ship it with the packagename-doc package. Further ship a
symlink /usr/share/doc/packagename-doc/html
to /usr/share/doc/package/html with the same package. So you avoid a
dangling symlink, if you don't want to add a strong dependency on
package for packagename-doc.
