I'm struggling with RPM's %doc directive... I have a package which 
installs a doc file in the buildroot, so I want to mark it as documentation.

According to the RPM guide [1], the %doc directive can be used "in 
“special” form on a path relative to the build directory which causes 
the files to be installed and packaged as documentation", which is 
commonly used: '%doc README' will copy the README file from the build 
directory to the buildroot. But if a package already installs a file in 
the appropriate place of the buildroot, it should be possible to just 
mark that as documentation ("Can be used as a regular attribute on an 
absolute path")...

But using
'%doc %{_pkgdocdir}/python_module/README.md'
returns
'Can't mix special %doc with other forms: 
/usr/share/doc/siril/python_module/README.md'

How can I make %doc use that as absolute patch instead of special form? 
Am I wrong or it's a bug?
