Joey Hess did chose not to implement this change yet as he waited for a
consensus on the discussion that started about this topic. This rules out
70% of our packages, which are based on debhelper (figure may be wrong, but
approx.).
Many people hesitated because of the discussion on this list.
Our project leader explicitely asked not ot make the change currently in the
Debian weekly news.
I do not think that the sole fact that many people did not make the move yet
is an argument one way or the other. If it will be argued this way, I shall
convert my packages to /usr/share/doc immediately.
Thanks,
Marcus
