Where is the official documentation (Debian package iproute-doc)?

Manpage of ss says:

FILTER := [ state TCP-STATE ] [ EXPRESSION ]
Please take a look at the official documentation (Debian package iproute-doc) for details regarding filters.

What does that mean? I can't find anything under /usr/share/doc/iproute2-doc/.

$ ls /usr/share/doc/iproute2-doc/ss.html
ls: cannot access '/usr/share/doc/iproute2-doc/ss.html': No such file or directory

$ ls /usr/share/doc/iproute2-doc/

Is the document also online somewhere for browsing?

Thanks.

if I haven't run sudo apt install iproute2-doc, would I have /usr/share/doc/iproute2-doc/?

I notice that whereas man ss on my Ubuntu 16.04 box refers to "Debian package iproute-doc", that on 18.04 refers only to "the official documentation" - so I suspect the relevant documentation has been moved elsewhere

The documentation is available in the Debian 9 package but was removed in later releases because it was outdated. The manpage is supposed to be the complete documentation now. (But it doesn’t have much to say about the details of filters.)
