Hi,

policy (12.3) says, that putting the contents of package-doc
into /usr/share/doc/package/ (main package) is preferred over
/usr/share/doc/package-doc/. debhelper detects the Python 2
package as main package. One can override this to the path for
the Python 3 package, but both feels wrong to me. Even if we
drop Python 2 at some point, maybe then there is Python 4 or
PyPy. I tend to stay with the traditional path, and ignore
the preference of our beloved policy. Not without first
consulting this very mailing list, of course. Opinions?

TIA & Cheers
