Description
most packages allow --docdir, --mandir and --infodir as options for ./configure.
i don't like to have just ONE directory for ONE purpose, thus i'm going thru my scripts to clean up this little mess.
i started with /usr/doc, /usr/man and /usr/info, but would like to know whether i'm right or should i use /usr/share/doc...?
next questions are:
am i doing this work just for my personal taste, or are you interested in putting me the results back to the book?
if yes, what's the best approach for me to get them to the book?

locations. The LFS book creates symlinks (/usr/{man,doc,info}) to account for broken packages that try to install in /usr/{man,doc,info}.
I suggested many months ago to fix the broken packages by using mandir, infodir, docdir, but it was determined that it wasn't worth the effort because the symlinks are there.
I suggest this ticket be closed.
