We made a statement of our intent to move to the FHS over a longish time
period to allow changes for major things like /var/state and /usr/doc.
Several of our packages use /var/state and /var/cache for the proper
things, several do not.. Nothing ever got moved to /usr/share/doc AFAIK.
I think APT has been using it for about 2 years now.
Personally I think /var/state is a much more accurate name, but I
understand the reasons for not wanting to switch :>
