Bugs apparently related to unversioned docfiles change:

-- Frankly, I'm confused by those. Fatrat and CGAL don't mention
version in any way--they simply use %{_docdir} and %doc. stdair does
mention version, but the build failure complains about stuff
installed by %doc. What gives?
The root cause for all these is the same: for various reasons (upstream
defaults, whatever) they install files to a versioned dir in
/usr/share/doc. Previously when the special %doc used that same
versioned dir, it (possibly accidentally) picked up files already in it
and they ended up in packages. Special %doc is no longer versioned, so
nothing picks up those files any more -> build fail.
I can look into these soon unless others beat me to it.
