I second this proposal.

FWIW, I was hoping that an identical solution would be proposed for
/usr/doc vs. /usr/share/doc, but the catch is that several packages
have already moved to /usr/share/doc.  Perhaps if we could get them to
declare dependencies on a newer base-files, we could solve the problem
without too much sludge.
