That is ... quite possible. It's actually the same with line above in

dh_installdocs changed behavior from compat level 11 onwards:
from debhelper(7):
- The dh_installdocs and dh_installexamples tools may
now install most of the documentation in a different path to comply with
the recommendation from Debian policy ยง12.3 (since version 3.9.7).
Note that if a given source package only contains a
single binary package in debian/control or none of the packages are -doc
packages, then this change is not relevant for that source package and
you can skip to the next change.
By default, these tools will now attempt to
determine a "main package for the documentation" (called a
doc-main-package from here on) for every -doc package. If they find
such a doc-main-package, they will now install the
documentation into the path
/usr/share/doc/doc-main-package in the given doc package. I.e. the path
can change but the documentation is still shipped in the -doc package.
The --doc-main-package option can be used when the
auto-detection is insufficient or to reset the path to its previous
value if there is a reason to diverge from Debian policy recommendation.
Some documentation will not be affected by this
change. These exceptions include the copyright file, changelog files,
README.Debian, etc. These files will still be installed in the path
/usr/share/doc/package.
