That's fine.  But that's not "installed", which is the step run by "make
install" or equivalent that takes built things from the buidl dir and
puts them in destdir.

If you want people to be able to read them offline, then they can be in
$prefix/share/doc/gpsd/html or $prefix/share/doc/gpsd.   But I don't
really care if they are installed or not - I was just trying to make
sure the pkgsrc package wasn't leaving them out when you thought they
were being put in destdir.

I agree that the (churn+work)/benefit ratio is too low.
