I see also:

To handle multiple stats (eg. using VirtualHosts in Apache) you
should...
1) Place all *additional* configs in /etc/awstats/.
2) Name the *new configs* "awstats." + whatever you want + ".conf" (eg.
"awstats.example.com.conf"). But avoid "awstats.awstats.conf".

So, it's all about *additional* vhosts. The main vhost supposed to
be already configured - please don't consider every single line of
README.Debian separately. But I admit, it maybe a good idea
to use better wording.

Why? There is some design pattern for multiple hosts config:
awstats.conf - main site
awstats.*.conf - others, they include the first one.
Can you understand this once and follow this pattern? Yes, you can.
Can you suggest a better solution? (Keep in mind single-config
scenario!) Then, please go ahead. But your
patch is not acceptable for now. And I'm not sure if there is
a documentation issue, that's why this bug was closed.
End of story.

Maybe. If you are sure you can do my job better - please go
ahead, take the package.
