I don't quite understand that problem, actually. mutt has a Muttrc.head.in file which defines the path as macro generic <f1> "!less @docdir@/manual.txt\n" "Show Mutt documentation" macro index <f1> "!less @docdir@/manual.txt\n" "Show Mutt documentation" macro pager <f1> "!less @docdir@/manual.txt\n" "Show Mutt documentation" from which Muttrc.head and in turn Muttrc is generated. Looking into the Makefile it seems to me, that you just have to define --docdir=/usr/share/doc/mutt on the configure command line. Did you try that? There's another problem anyway. AFAICS your mutt package has no postinstall script which creates /etc/Muttrc only if it doesn't exist. Instead it overwrites /etc/Muttrc on every install. What about installing Muttrc into /etc/defaults/etc and writing a postinstall script which just copies that Muttrc into /etc if it doesn't exist already. This naturally leads to the problem that users which already have a Muttrc file will not get the above fixed path to manual.txt. I'd think adding a prominent hint in the announcement would be sufficient for now.
