Thanks for that; done. That's half of it. My thinking is though, if this is a standard assumption for a webserver configuration, and the doc directory is intended to be viewed like that, perhaps README is a bad name for things to be given? On the other hand, perhaps it's a bad assumption for a webserver to make, except when done intentionally for a specific purpose. I don't know if either is worthy of even a wishlist bug - but it had me stuck, and assuming that various other packages had inadequate documentation, simply because I couldn't find it.
