I assume that statement indicates that putting haskell-dataenc documentation in /usr/share/doc/ghc/libraries/dataenc isn't policy compliant? [snip]
According to http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_Packaging_Standards: /usr/share/doc/{pkg} Application documentation So haskell-dataenc documentation should go into /usr/share/doc/haskell-datenc; some packages install version names as well in the folder name, but that would cause the folder name to change on every upgrade. While it is fine to ship the documentation with the package itself, quite a bit of space would be wasted if/when someone sets up a binary repository of the haskell packages. I do not know how much the standard space requirements for haddock-generated documentation is, though. In Arch, the convention is to include small documentation in the package itself and for larger documentation split it out into a -doc package (example: python-docs). -- Abhishek
