In general each Debian package you install also will contain the resulting file location on your system after installation. Packages can be opened and viewed with the Archive Manager.

Alternatively we may also browse a package content on http://packages.ubuntu.com where all packages in the repositories should be listed. For opencv-doc this will reveal the following file list:

/usr/share/doc/opencv-doc/CMakeLists.txt

/usr/share/doc/opencv-doc/README.Debian

/usr/share/doc/opencv-doc/acircles_pattern.png

/usr/share/doc/opencv-doc/changelog.Debian.gz

[...]

This package like many other documentation files will therefore install to /usr/share/doc/<packagename>.
