Please understand that I do not agree with you. IMO, you FUBARed rpm's %doc
handling.

There was nothing wrong with this package.

It was installing some files into %_pkgdocdir directly and was adding others
using %doc.

This was one way, recommended by the former rpm-maintainer - You broke that!

You are wrong again.

rt's "make install" installs a lot of files into %_pkgdocdir. %doc was used to
add some files.

> You don't need to use %doc for absolute paths in %{_pkgdocdir} either

For now, I resorted to manually install those files, which used to be %doc and
to use
%files
%{_pkgdocdir}

Also, let me emphasize that I furthon will not step in to fix FTBS in future
mass rebuild because I consider these FTBSes your responsibility, which is why
I am expecting you to fix each and every package yourselves.

Alos, IMO, your change does not fix anything in rpms. To the contrary. You
broke rpm.
