If I do that, all files are installed into the same directory,
according to the documentation.  This is not what I want; images
should still be in the `img` subdirectory.

A solution to the problem is the 'install-data-hook' target to move up
all documentation files and directories by one level (I haven't tried
this yet, though).  I just wonder whether there is a better, more
'natural' one.
