No, it sais that those dirs should exist. Not that all docs should go there.
In any case following that kind of policy would be pain in the ass for many
packages that have different opinions.

Probably more as it is not indirect, the FHS does not say anywhere that more
dirs are not allowed they just specify the minimal set. It is perfectly legal
to make aditions that do not violate the rules in the FHS. The /usr/packages
idea does not violate this idea.
