inkscape-shadow.README installed as executable

Hi,
while preparing the package of 0.42pre1 for debian lintian was not happy: W: inkscape: executable-not-elf-or-script ./usr/share/inkscape/extensions/inkscape-shadow.README
This file gets the x-bit during installation since in share/extensions/Makefile it is listed as extension. Perhaps "otherstuff" would be a more appropriate place for it? Or better yet, shouldn't these READMEs be installed in the documentation directory, that is /usr/share/doc/inkscape?
With best wishes,
Wolfi

OK, I'll move it to /doc.
But what about all other readmes? We have a README file in each dir in share/ describing its content. Are these OK? They cannot be moved because they only make sense where they are.
I will also update inkscape.spec.in (is this the correct file?) to get this and some more files installed into usr/share/doc.

The problem with this file was that during installation it got an executable bit, not its location. I just had the idea that a user wo wants to use the shadow would look into the doc directory and not somewhere in the filesystem. I think READMEs explaining how to use a certain feature should be installed into the doc directory, whereas files as the README in the same dir should stay where they are now.
I will also update inkscape.spec.in (is this the correct file?) to get this and some more files installed into usr/share/doc.
Thanks,
Wolfi
