I'm not sure I understand you correctly here: a copy in both places?
There are no HTML docs in /usr/doc (except when running make), and no
SGML sources in /usr/share/doc. Or am I wrong in this?

The doc sources are fetched to /usr/doc. If I cd to that dir and run make
clean && make all install (for example), the output (i.e. the formatted
docs) can then be found in /usr/share/doc.

I probably misunderstood your question though. :)
