Well the general rule is that package documentation files other than |
| 7 |
man pages and info docs get installed under |
| 8 |
/usr/share/doc/<pkg>-<version>. This would include html, pdfs, and |
| 9 |
text files. For example, bind-tools, ntp, python-docs, etc all |
| 10 |
install their user manuals under this directory. |

The bad news is that this doesn't include everything. Build |
| 13 |
instructions or other items not normally installed as part of the |
| 14 |
package will not be found here. In some cases it is necessary to look |
| 15 |
for extra documentation files in the source archives, the web site, or |
| 16 |
even the CVS repository of the upstream project that provides the |
| 17 |
package. |
