You shouldn't specify the full path of the file since the user can specify
whether to use gzip or bzip2 to compress the files.  Instead refer to where the
file can be found.

References for why we should do this can be found at:

This file suffers from the exact same problem.  Perhaps what we need is a
${COMPRESS_EXT} variable that the ebuilds could use.

/usr/share/doc/courier-imap-4.0.6-r2/courier-imap-gentoo.readme.bz2

------- Comment #2 From Tres 'RiverRat' Melton 2008-05-18 05:55:11 0000 ------- 
Mark, I would advocate changing the Summary for this bug to be more generic as
there are other places where it comes up.  Perhaps:

/usr/share/doc/?dir?/?file? specifies the wrong extension based on compression.

Perhaps an even simpler method is in order of saying see file 

/usr/share/doc/spamassassin-3.2.1-r1/INSTALL.*

------- Comment #3 From Mark Loeser 2009-05-16 00:24:15 0000 ------- 
Fixed
