My understanding is that "/usr/doc" is deprecated, and "/usr/share/doc"
is the proper place for documentation according to FHS or whatever. At
least, it appears that all Debian packages are migrating to
/usr/share/doc, some faster than others but that's the direction they're
all going as I understand it.
That is, I don't think ${prefix}/doc is correct anymore, it should be
${datadir}/doc.
