Dear Maintainer,

I was looking at where the Kakoune package installs its documentation:

    dpkg-query -L kakoune |
        sed -e 's@/[^/]*$@@' |
        sort -u |
        grep doc

...expecting to find three directories:

    /usr/share/doc          (because it creates a package directory inside here)
    /usr/share/doc/kakoune/ (Debian package changelog, README, etc.)
    /usr/share/kak/doc/     (Kakoune's online documentation)

Instead, I found an additional fourth directory, /usr/share/doc/kak

Apparently the Kakoune README is installed to /usr/share/doc/kak, while all the
other package documentation (package changelog, licence, etc.) is installed to
/usr/share/doc/kakoune.

I think the README should be installed in the directory named after the package,
as it is with other Debian packages.
