Package: debhelper
Version: 9.20160403
Severity: normal

Hey,

Standard-Version 3.9.7 recommends that additional documentation is installed under 
/usr/share/doc/<package> instaed of /usr/share/doc/<package>-doc

It would be nice if debhelper can handle this in a nice way.
* For example an additional option to install all files in <package>-doc.docs under /usr/share/doc/<package>
* adding a second coloum to *docs file with the pacakagename where to install

It would help a lot to comply with Standards-Version 3.9.7. Because the only way to comply sofar is to install everywith with the .install files.

Regards,

sandro
