$ aptitude show aptitude-doc-en | grep -a2 Description
Suggests: aptitude
Provides: aptitude-doc
Description: English manual for aptitude, a terminal-based apt frontend
 aptitude is a terminal-based apt frontend.  This package contains the English
 version of the aptitude user's manual in HTML format.

$ dpkg -S aptitude-doc-en
aptitude-doc-en: /usr/share/doc/aptitude-doc-en/changelog.Debian.gz
aptitude-doc-en: /usr/share/doc/aptitude-doc-en
aptitude-doc-en: /usr/share/doc/aptitude-doc-en/copyright
aptitude-doc-en: /usr/share/doc/aptitude-doc-en/changelog.gz

Only by mere coincidence I found out, that the actual html files were
droped into /usr/share/doc/aptitude/html. Could someone knowing add
something like README.Debian with a pointer, add it to the package's
description or let dpkg -S (or similar) list the html files with path?
Or tell me how to do so / point me to some docs.

Cheers.
