There is a potential 'gotcha' with %doc entries: if you have a %doc entry, then
you can't use commands during %install to copy files into the documentation
directory descending from %_defaultdocdir. That's because if there's a %doc
entry, rpmbuild will automatically remove the docdir files created by %install
before installing the files listed with %doc. This can hit you if, for example,
you want an "examples" subdirectory in the documentation directory. In this
case, don't use "%doc" to mark documentation. Instead, create the directories
and copy the files into %{buildroot}%{_defaultdocdir}/%{name}-%{version}/
during %install, and make sure that %files includes an entry for
"%{_defaultdocdir}/%{name}-%{version}/". They will still be correctly marked as
documentation.
