Erm, but isn't that the whole point of the standard? So that everything
is always in the same place, regardless of what platform, OS, etc.
Someone new to Java, but who knows UNIX will think to look in
/usr/[share/]doc/[packagename] for any docs, but no one will think to
look in /usr/share/apidoc.

Surely something like:
/usr/share/doc/[packagename]/javadoc
/usr/share/doc/[packagename]/javadoc-generated
would do.

Again, it is bad because it is counter-intuitative.
I don't think it is agood idea.
