Getting off-topic here ... Yes, the one mention by Gerd is a policy rule which generically states where to store package documentation. Still, in Debian we also have a higher-level mechanism for registering documentation, and we are for the OCaml packages using it consistently to register ocamldoc API references. The mechanism is called doc-base. To given an idea about which information are stored there, here is the entry in the doc-base database for the ocamlnet API reference: > Document: libocamlnet-ocaml-dev-ocamldoc-api-reference > Title: libocamlnet-ocaml-dev OCamldoc API Reference > Abstract: API reference manual for libocamlnet-ocaml-dev (generated via > OCamldoc) > Section: Programming/OCaml > > Format: HTML > Index: /usr/share/doc/libocamlnet-ocaml-dev/html/api/index.html > Files: /usr/share/doc/libocamlnet-ocaml-dev/html/api/* In case of need, we have (easily guessable from the above) naming conventions which let us recognize all doc-base entries which contain ocamldoc API references.
