What I could do is manually copy over all files into the /doc subdirectory and let make dist pack this subdir. However, this means that each person who builds a tarball must be aware of this manual step and must carry it out properly (this would be the same with git submodules). That's one reason why *I personally* prefer two tarballs. What do the other package maintainers say in the light of this new discussion? In any case, I have decided to finally release 8.2.0 with the tarball-in-tarball version today. We can release a 8.2.1 next week when we have settled this issues (which also means there is no problem waiting to package it until then). The reason is that 8.2 was already delayed several times, sometimes for nits, and I think it's really time to provide it. Hope this doesn't make someone upset. Again, this still leaves the discussion on the doc part totally open.
