Bilal mentioned 3 options to fix this bug:
<bilalakhtar> 1) The source package should contain the manual source and should be compiled and made into a binary when needed
<bilalakhtar> 2) Just put a PDF in the source package that copies into /usr/share/doc
<bilalakhtar> 3) Get the postinst script to download the required PDF according to the locale and install it (example of this approach is flashplugin-nonfree package)
