OK, I've uploaded a new version of mdk-doc-non-dfsg to mentors.d.n at
the same location with a single major change: declare compliancy with
Debian Policy 3.9.7 and, thus, install the documentation into
/usr/share/doc/mdk/ instead of /usr/share/doc/mdk-doc/ as suggested by
the brand new policy's section 12.3.

Everything else written above still stands.

G'luck,
Peter
