Thanks to you both.

I think the mist is clearing, let's see if I have this straight. The
contents of /usr/share/doc come with the system, and any cvsup'd changes
go instead into /usr/doc. If I want to merge the two, I use Ceri's
suggestion. Otherwise, I can download direct as per Lowell's suggestion.
