I'm not convinced that this is a good idea. Then you won't catch cases
where upstream removes or renames files.

Besides, dodoc already checks for -e by itself (and emits a warning if
the file does not exist).

So, maybe just do a 'dodoc "${DOCS}"' and omit the die? Then it won't
fail but the warning message would be preserved.
