 Yes, for some reason Debian package maintainers have thought it would
 be best to move doc from the default upstream location to
 /urs/share/doc/$package, and this created a big mixture.  I reverted
 this choice in one package already, and I think we should move back all
 the docs to their default location and symlink in
 /usr/share/doc/$package.

 But this is all post-etch.
