The problem I'm running into is that in the course of packaging the docs

         rm -rf %{_docdir}/%{name}-%{version}

So, when it subsequently tries to package the docs for the -doc
subpackage, the "manual" subdirectory (that was put there by "make
install") has been blown away.

What can I do here? Is it possible to suppress the "rm -rf" that %doc
does?

Just use %doc to place the files in %{_docdir}, e.g.
  %doc doc/*

The problem with that is that it does *not* put the files in %{_docdir} when it is used for a subpackage. Instead, the files are put in /usr/share/doc/subpackagename-%{version}. I don't want that.
