The thing is, the path stripping of %doc path/to/README is a feature. The 
directory path in the sources is not necessarily useful to replicate in the 
installed documentation directory. Removing that path stripping would be an 
incompatible change and make the doc directories of some packages a mess of 
unnecessary subdirectories. If desired, this needs a new syntax that does 
not clash with existing usage.
