The problem isn't the spec file.
The problem is that the make install puts the man page in the wrong
place.  You can work around that in a spec file by doing a mv or by
explicitly declaring where the man pages are to go...

If you look at the Makefile in the doc dir you'll see:
mandir = $(datadir)/man/man1
man1dir = $(mandir)/man1

You'll also note that the installdirs target then ignores man1dir...
        
$(mkinstalldirs)  $(DESTDIR)$(mandir)/man1

Which means even a source install is putting the man pages in the wrong
place.  So it is a Makefile bug...

mandir should = $(datadir)/man
