rpm or rpmbuild? I assume the latter, and I've never had a problem with any
of my packages. Is it known what exactly triggers the issue?
ATM, I am recommending against using relative %doc and recommend to

Easy enough on the %install side but silly in the %files section, how I'll
have to specifically list each file or glob the whole directory and then
turn around and exclude %{_pkgdocdir}/html so save that for the -doc
package.
The other option being to move the documentation back to %buildroot and use
relative paths...
Overall it seems like a step backwards to me...
Thanks,
