Have Standard-Version: 3.0.0 packages put the docs in /usr/share/doc/<package>
with a symlink /usr/doc/<package> pointing to ../share/doc/<package>.
The only problem I see is web servers not following symlinks, is that the
default?
Once all packages have moved their documentary to /usr/share/doc and /usr/doc
is just a directory full of symlinks the web servers will be pointing at
/usr/share/doc and packages can start to drop the /usr/doc/<package> symlinks.
