Patches are a higher work overhead than we suspect. If you are not in a
hurry, I would recommend to ask Upstream he can change the path to the
docs. That would make him do the work for you ;)
Other alternatives to patching are to delete
$(CURDIR)/debian/yourpackage/usr/doc, or to try to override the path at
build time.
If you chose to patch, I suggest that you forward it upstream and
indicate this in the patch header.
Have a nice day,
