Why would it be out-of-date if it's done during package installation?
Then the HTML will be created whenever the document might have changed.

This doesn't work in a nice way when the stylesheets gets updated
though.

It also puts the effort of making the document converting process work
in the hands of the package maintainer (which we might not want?).

And having the administrator manually update/generate the HTML is not an
option since it'll just be to much work for him/her.

I would say that either we do it the KDE way (generating HTML at
installation time) or we do it with a per-user cache.
