I use Application Manager, clicking in browser on a .deb file and then
app manager is launched and installs the .deb.
However, now I understand why the directories under /usr/share/doc
sometimes disappears "by magic", it seems docpurge was launched when I
installed something from the repositories :-)
Looks like Application Manager also uses dpkg when installing a single
deb file. I tried to put the .deb to my own private repository and
voila - no doc files :)

I realise this, but most debs contain anyway at least the the changelog.
Anyway, thanks for explanation :-)
