One could complain all day long about many issues and not have any time left
for other things. ;)  Eventually packagers find out for themselves or simply
change their mind (many even reformat .spec files from time to time just to
meet personal preferences).


[devhelp/gtk-doc]

Without putting the .devhelp2 book definition anywhere, documentation placed
below  /usr/share/gtk-doc/html/ is found by devhelp already. And by any other
tool that searches in that directory by default.

Whether other Fedora packages move the documentation even if they store a
.devhelp2 file doesn't matter much. More important is how you decide to do it
and whether you agree with the solution. Those other packages ought to add a
comment on why they relocate the docs. Else it's nothing else than dubious and
shouldn't be copied to other rpms.

Moving the docs breaks the related values in the pkgconfig file, for example:

| $ cat libvtemm-1.2.pc|grep doc
| docdir=${datarootdir}/doc/libvtemm-1.2
| doxytagfile=${docdir}/reference/libvtemm-1.2.tag
| htmlrefdir=${docdir}/reference/html

And $docdir not even points to the %doc files as they are stored in
%_docdir/libvtemm-0.22.1 instead.
