Quoting John Summerfield (summer at OS2.ami.com.au):

I think it's not just the rpm builder's problem:

#locate mod-active
/usr/local/src/inn-2-2.1/doc/mod-active.8
/usr/local/src/inn-2-2.1/samples/mod-active.in
/usr/local/src/inn-2-2.1/samples/mod-active
/usr/local/src/inn-2-2.1/site/mod-active
/home/news/bin/mod-active

See that?  No mod-active.8 in the /home/news/man/man8 directory!

Compare and contrast:
#locate inn.conf
/usr/local/src/inn-2-2.1/doc/inn.conf.5
/usr/local/src/inn-2-2.1/samples/inn.conf.in
/usr/local/src/inn-2-2.1/samples/inn.conf
/usr/local/src/inn-2-2.1/site/inn.conf
/home/news/man/man5/inn.conf.5
/home/news/etc/inn.conf
