As a matter of fact, we've worked on this during the sprints, and are preparing a proposal that will let people define a place for doc (and other stuff) and let the OS packager decide where it lands (with defaults per OS).
I'll read the proposal. I wonder how it is possible to layout a source tarball with hints to the OS packager on how to do the right thing.
From what I have seen, there is no really specification or convention for tagging a directory in a source tarball as 'doc' in a language agnostic and OS agnostic way.
Does anyone know if the good people form Perl and Ruby have came up with a good solution?
