Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: libcairo2-doc

The following is from "apt-cache show libcairo2-doc" :

--->
Description: Documentation for the Cairo Multi-platform 2D graphics library
 Cairo is a multi-platform library providing anti-aliased
 vector-based rendering for multiple target backends.
 .
 This package contains the HTML documentation for the Cairo library
 in /usr/share/doc/libcairo2-doc/ .
<---

However, /usr/share/doc/libcairo2-doc does not contain said HTML documentation:
$ ls /usr/share/doc/libcairo2-doc/
AUTHORS.gz  changelog.Debian.gz  changelog.gz  copyright  NEWS.gz  README.gz  
TODO.gz

The documentation itself is to be found in /usr/share/gtk-doc/html/cairo/ :
$ ls /usr/share/gtk-doc/html/cairo/
bindings-errors.html          cairo-FreeType-Fonts.html       Fonts.html
bindings-fonts.html           cairo-Image-Surfaces.html       home.png
bindings-memory.html          cairo-Paths.html                index.html
[...etc...]

libgtk2.0-doc installs the actual documentation in
/usr/share/doc/libgtk2.0-doc/ and symlinks to there from /usr/share/gtk-
doc/html/gtk .  I'm guessing libcairo2-doc should do the same.

** Affects: libcairo (Ubuntu)
