Bug Description
pkg version 9.6.0-1
on Ubuntu Raring Ringtail (developmental)
The files are contained in /usr/share/
However... this is completely non intuitive to the Raring Ringtail setup.
I expected to Open the Dash and type in c++ and see my newly installed documentation.
Since it wasn't in the Dash search I expected to be able to look in my ~/Documents and find it there.
Since the document wasn't installed in a way a normal user could find them, I decided to look in the /usr/share/doc folder.
Some sort of symbolic link should be installed so a new Linux user can find the C++ documentation installed from the software-center through the normal user interface (i.e. Dash Search, or some symbolic link in the Documents folder that opens the /usr/share/

I have decided this bug should be an easy fix.
All that is needed is a desktop file with something akin to:
Exec=x-www-browser file://
(based on what file type is installed )
Or a simple script that determines which one is installed and opens the correct one, or the html one if multiple are installed (for default).
New (GNU) users are going to install this and possibly not know where or what was installed, especially if they are unfamiliar with the Linux file system hierarchy
The other option (not a great one...) would be to make a postinst script that:
ln -s $filename ${HOME}
