Do the contents look useful to a user? If so, they should be installed
into /usr/share/doc/<package>.

Policy: "Each program, utility, and function should have an associated
manual page included in the same package."

See section 12, http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-docs.html.

To create one, try an editor like manedit, which will give you a
skeleton and a graphical editor to get your started.

Yes.
