Totally agree. Lost track of this perspective.

Should be consistent, I ran the tests again without any $(builddir) and
it's ok.
I submitted a patch.

Call it a nicotine patch :-)

Updated test matrix. One cannot patch a tarball and re-distribute with
out-dated docs.

    Doxy:        doxygen tool is installed to generate html from header
    files
    srcdir:      the html docs are generated in the same directory as
    the source
    builldir:    the html docs are generated in a deparate build directory
    git vs tar:  build is done from git cloned module or from a tarball
    (with html)
    no-html:     the html files in the tarball have been deleted (make
    clean)

    Doxy;        srcdir;        git;        no-html:    tarball created
    Doxy;        srcdir;        tar;        html:       tarball created
    Doxy;        srcdir;        tar;        no-html:    tarball created
    Doxy;        builddir;      git;        no-html:    tarball created
    Doxy;        builddir;      tar;        html:       tarball created
    Doxy;        builddir;      tar;        no-html:    tarball created

    No-doxy;     srcdir;        git;        no-html:    Refusing dist Msg
    No-doxy;     srcdir;        tar;        html:       Refusing dist Msg
    No-doxy;     builddir;      git;        no-html:    Refusing dist Msg
    No-doxy;     builddir;      tar;        html:       Refusing dist Msg
