There is one more catch to add here: The same library can be installed in different versions for the different arches. IMHO this makes it impossible for them to really share the same file. I think the possibly cleanest solution is to install the docs in directories with an arch specific suffix, e.g. doc/libc6_i386 and doc/libc6_amd64. The debhelper scripts could do that for multiarch packages. But, what do you do with conflicting man pages? How is multiarch coming along?
