I'd certainly be confused!

Being able to just look in /usr/share/doc/PKG is really, really,
convenient, even if it only contains symlinks/pointers/whatever
referring to the "real" location.

Otherwise looking for related documentation becomes a guessing game
(OK, I guess one can do "dpkg -L pkg | grep /usr/share/doc", but ...).

Thanks,
