For what it's worth, part of the debian package build process I've 
developed is to remove the version from the doc Makefile.  The relevant 
command is:

    sed -i -e 's:\(\$(PACKAGE)\)-\$(VERSION):\1:' \
        ${top_dir}/doc/Makefile.am &> /dev/null

The variable 'top_dir' is self-explanatory.  This way the docs are 
installed to </usr/share/doc/refdb>.

Regards,
David.
