Details

Currently, Linux documentation provided by the linux-docs package is installed in /usr/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build/Documentation. Documentation is generally put in /usr/share/doc as per the Packaging Guidelines, and I'm sure I'm not the only one who had trouble finding the Linux docs. Additionally, symlinking in the package means that users always have a path to the latest kernel documentation, without having to fiddle around with uname.

Patch attached. Please let me know if this would be better submitted elsewhere, or if there are formatting problems.
