Why should upstream follow Arch's rules when installing? It is the responsibility of the Arch maintainer to provide the README file in the right place -- when it is useful, as in this case.

Archlinux package does install man pages and info pages of gawk.

I did check the readme and found some information useful for a packager  (like targets for printing manuals in different formats) , but nothing that stands out to me as useful for normal users.


What information in the readme do you and OP feel is useful and not available through man / info pages ?
