I don't know if there has been a discussion about this, but is there
any reason to include the version, given the fact that two different
versions cannot be activated at the same time?

I find this a bit annoying as including the version makes the
pathnames change after an upgrade, so that one can no longer
say: "see /opt/local/share/doc/p7zip/README" or make a symlink
to it.

Recent autotools-based package doc directories default to ${name}-$ {version} (see libogg and libvorbis). Also, I love to have maximum informations about my installed packages in the documentation directory and version _is_ an important information. Last, you do can have multiple versions of the same package, see automake and all, including version in docdir for only a few packages seems quite awkward and inconsistent to me.

You cannot do a symlink, but you can always do `see /opt/local/share/ doc/p7zip*/README`.
