Or do I have to patch Cabal? If so, what about adding just another FilePath like docdir to Distribution.SimpleLocalBuildInfo and use it for the documentation?
I think it'd be perfectly reasonable to follow the lead of autoconf here and have slightly finer grained control with respect to the kinds of files we're installing. Autoconf distinguishes docs (and various kinds of docs, html, ps, pdf, man etc) from the generic datadir.
