GHC puts them in /usr/local/share/<package>/html

Perhaps /usr/local/share/doc/<package>/html would be better?

Hmmm, I haven't followed this thread too closely, but SuSE (and a few other distros I think) has all documentation for an RPM package below /usr/share/doc/packages/<package> Perhaps we should follow some existing practice instead of being too creative here. An issue with this is that we are talking about Haskell packages here, not RPM packages, so maybe /usr/share/doc/packages/haskell-<package> is a good idea. This mirrors e.g. the Perl/Python package documentation habits. Having a separate subdirectory for the Haddock documentation below that would be good, beacause there might be other documentation, too. If "html" is the best name for this is another question...
