Well, they're meant to be copied into your own code, which is why they end up under a doc/ directory. Lots of things like this tend to end up in doc/ directories.
perhaps /usr/share/doc/numpy then.
This is up to the various Linux packagers of numpy. They have their own tools to do this according to their own policies. Doing *anything* in our setup.py to install these files will just make their jobs harder. That's why I think that this needs to be handled in the binary installers, not the setup.py.
Okay, makes sense. For now I'll just delete those lines from setup.py then and open a ticket. Will try to find some time later to add this for the binary installers for Windows and OS X. People who do a source install will just have to grab those files from a tarball then.
