By {prefix} do you mean where PostgreSQL is being installed? If so, that
would be highly non-standard. I think what you'd want is
{prefix}/share/doc/postgresql/contrib/.

Well, I assumed Tom was referring to placement in the source tree, i.e. {prefix} is contrib/dblink, etc.

But this raises a good question in terms of where these files should be installed. The README.xxx files all go to {install-prefix}/doc/contrib. I experimented with changing the Makefile line:
  DOCS = README.dblink
to be:
  DOCS = README.dblink doc/*

Unfortunately the files from contrib/dblink/doc still wound up being installed to {install-prefix}/doc/contrib, which would become a naming collision hazard. Maybe they should go to {install-prefix}/doc/contrib/xxx (where xxx is the name of each contrib dir)?
