Uhh, that won't work. You first need to install MediaWiki, typically by
going through the web installer (<http://localhost/mediawiki/>), which
will generate a LocalSettings.php for you to save into /etc/mediawiki/,
and *then* you can modify the logo.

What/where did you expect documentation to be available? The package
already installs documentation to /usr/share/doc/mediawiki, including
README.Debian, which explains the briefly explains the install process.
