It's not so obvious.  Aap finds the rule to turn a .asc file into a
.html file, but a rule does not specify where to search for the source
file.  It simply uses the name of the file with the path for the %.

The most explicit solution is to adjust the rule to include the path:

    :rule ../html/%.html : %.asc conf/asciidoc.conf
        ...
