Dear Russ,

overall, I am very positive with your changes, but here are two comments that I
hope can improve the section.

There have been recurrent discussions about 
/usr/share/doc/<var>package</var>-doc
being a symbolic link to /usr/share/doc/<var>package</var>.  In my 
understanding,
this is discouraged now.  Perhaps this desserves a footnote ?

While ‘referenced’ is in the original wording, maybe it could be clarified.
For instance, if the help page of a program contains “Please refer to
the Foo specification”, and the spec is in /usr/share/doc, I assume that
it can stay there ?

Have a nice day,
