You are right that scribus needs them in what is the "wrong" location for the Debian policy, but I remember doing things so that it would work for both.
The package ships everything in /usr/share/scribus/doc and then sets up symlinks from e.g. /usr/share/doc/scribus/de to ../../scribus/doc/de (i.e. /usr/share/scribus/doc/de).

Matching subscriptions: scribus https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2058634 Title: scribus-doc puts docs in wrong place Status in scribus-doc package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: the issue is that scribus does not use a standard location for its docs ... typically deb packages ship their docs in /usr/share/doc/<packagename> while scribus ships them in /usr/share/<packagename>/doc ... This is important because the Firefox snap only has permissions to access files in the standard location.
