I am not sure what to make of your post.  I think a majority in this
discussion agrees that a .../share/doc/html subdirectory should be
avoided.

Well, I don't said there is any fundamental need.  I also did not
say that an info-like central html index file is the only way to
avoid having .../share/doc/html.  And you stated that it would be
nice to have such an index file.

So, basically, we seem to agree.
