Hello,

While packaging libdbi for GNU Guix I discovered that passing --docdir=/some/doc/dir had no effect on the location of the installed doc. After digging a bit it seems this is caused by the variable being overriden in Makefile.am:

docdir = $(datadir)/doc/$(PACKAGE)-$(VERSION)

Replacing this by

docdir = @docdir@

fixes the issue.

Thanks,

Maxim
