Quoting current /doc/docpolicy:
* We'll use the following directory structure:
Filesystem:
/usr/share/doc/manuals/somemanual/index.html
/usr/share/doc/manuals/somemanual.ps.gz (optional)
WWW server:
http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/somemanual/
FTP server:
ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/doc/manuals/somemanual.html.tar.gz
ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/doc/manuals/somemanual.text.gz
ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/doc/manuals/somemanual.dvi.gz
ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/doc/manuals/somemanual.ps.gz
ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/doc/manuals/somemanual.sgml.tar.gz
Please note that this part of the policy hasn't been universally
accepted yet, so those URIs may not work. The real locations of
documents may vary for backwards compatibility.
