It's really up to the packager whether or not /usr/share/doc/bat exists. 
It is a good idea, of course, in case somebody ever comes up with an 
actual package named bat.

That said, I think the /usr/share/doc location is really not so much for 
help files that are called at runtime, as for general documentation 
files such as readme. I'm thinking that the installation directory would 
probably be the best place. Either that, or create a directory 
/usr/share/bacula (not under the doc directory). Maybe even 
/usr/lib/bacula although I think that's a stretch.

Obviously, all that should be configurable at compile time so that 
different distributions can put it wherever they feel appropriate.
