 A probable better idea, and one I've seen from RedHat distributions (6.2 is
the one I just looked at) is:

Alias /doc/ /usr/doc/
<Location /doc>
  order deny,allow
  deny from all
  allow from localhost
  Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
</Location>

 Unless you want your domain users to have access to these areas, then
include the addresses you want to have access. As for a 'packages'
directory/alias itself, I'd rem that unless there is a need to have those
displayed, in which case .htaccess works.
