A nit: only one package can have an index.html file in the
HTML directory. For this to work, you'll have to create a
subdirectory for each package anyway, and create a master index.html
file in the top level.
You can get the same effect by letting all HTML docs remain in
/usr/doc/<package> and constructing your master index.html file to
point to things.
The current http://localhost/usr/doc/ page (as per the web
standard) already does this: if the package provides a suitable
/usr/doc/<package>/index.html file, you can use the URL above to
browse all HTML documentation.
This already works.
I see no reason to change this.
