Consistent location of files in -doc packages.
As a user I would like it if Debian had a policy on the location of the
'Additional documentation' that is supplied in the -doc packages as
per Section 6.3 of policy-manual 3.0.0.0. Many -doc packages place the
actual documentation in the base package's /usr/{share/}doc/<package>
directory while others place the documentation in the
/usr/{share/}doc/<package>-doc directory. The placement of the
documentation should be consistent for all -doc packages. My
preference would be to have the documents in the -doc directory. This
of course does not include info docs that are installed under the info
tree or other misc. man pages etc., only the files that are placed
under the /usr/{share/}doc tree.
