From what I understand, /usr/share (and /usr/local/share, /opt/share,
etc) is supposed to hold platform-independent data.  I think it would be
reasonable for a distribution to decide to put it's documentation in
/usr/share/doc, but it has to be consistent (in that case, it would
make  sense to make /usr/doc a symlink to /usr/share/doc)
