ROFL. I tried it with autoconf-2.59 and got this error:

So I tried using automake-1.10 as well as autoconf-2.61, and that just gave
me the same behaviour as using the latest versions: an extra doc dir that has
to be excluded at PKG_ time. Humph.
Perhaps there's actually a problem with task's makefiles or configury not
understanding "--docdir=/usr/share/doc/task" correctly?
cheers,
