Maybe they should co-ordinate with one another a little then.

No, not realy. The 2.0 Code is rather well optimized (with dir cache and
stuff). The Access of the Directory can be optimized and is a bottleneck on
system like news-serve

One complication I can think of - dselect and the ftp sites have the
concept of "overrides", where Guy can change the section a package
is assigned to. This wouldn't be reflected in the /usr/doc
directory - of course, this might not really matter.

I think it would be good to divide the "/usr/doc" directory into sub
directories. It should be divided in the same as the Debian ftp site,
and packages should put their documentation into the same slot as the
one they got ftp'd from.
The directory is very large when you have a lot of packages
