I always thought it seemed nice if when you launched your help
documents in the app (with F1 or whatever) that that spawned
"htmlviewer file:///usr/share/doc/myapp-version/index.html"
Thus if that were a packaging guideline, or even unspoken consensus,
then people would always have a consistent way to reach the
documentation. (and embedded systems developers who were really tight
on memory requirements would have an easy way to nuke all the
documentation at once).
Well, if we ever go to differential updates, %{_datadir}/myapp
rather than /usr/share/doc/myapp-%{version} will make a difference
in update size.
