Do we really have to discuss this again? We asked the technical
committee some time ago to decide how to smoothly migrate from
/usr/doc to /usr/share/doc and the decision was that every package has
to provide /usr/doc/<package> in potato (either as a directory (for
old packages) or as a symlink to /usr/share/doc/<package> (for new
packages)). In woody (potato+1) every package has to place its
documentation in /usr/share/doc/<package> with a symlink
/usr/doc/<package> pointing to /usr/share/doc/<package>. In woody+1
the symlinks have to be removed.
So you have to wait until potato is released before you are allowed to
write bug reports against packages, which place their documentation in
a dictionary /usr/doc/<package>.
