(Not that libraries usually have much in the way of end-user documentation. There's often little more than a license file in the main package.) I'm not convinced that there is a real need to give each subpackage its own directory in /usr/share/doc. Nothing prevents several packages from installing files in the same directory, and name collisions are easy to prevent when all of the packages are subpackages generated from the same spec file. Several subpackages may need to own the same directory but that's not a problem. So I think the separate directories are a little bit silly but not really a problem. In my previous message I mostly wanted to point out the differences to make people aware of them. However, if we want to switch to a single directory named after the main package, then we should do it now. Once the documentation files have stable pathnames we shouldn't change them again.
