[Fedora-packaging] How to create a subdir in %{_docdir}/%{name}-%{version}

Hi,

I want to create an "examples" folder inside
%{_docdir}/%{name}-%{version}. Here is my test case:

> %install
> mkdir -p $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_docdir}/%{name}-%{version}/examples/
> touch $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_docdir}/%{name}-%{version}/examples/test
> 
> %files -f %{name}.lang
> %defattr(-,root,root,-)
> %doc AUTHORS COPYING ChangeLog README
> %doc %{_docdir}/%{name}-%{version}/examples/

This wont work as the first %doc line deletes and re-creates
%{_docdir}/%{name}-%{version}, so rpmbuild will fail with:
"... /usr/share/doc/foo/examples/test: cpio: Bad magic"

Any idea how I can have a subdir then?
Christoph
