2 is correct, I think.

Any header that is avr specific should be included from the avr dir as
such:

  #include <avr/io.h>
  #include <avr/interrupt.h>

But any file that is part of some standard (ISO C for example), should be
included without the avr dir, such as:

  #include <string.h>
  #include <math.h>
  #include <inttypes.h>

If my reasoning is correct, then I should add this as a note into the
avr-libc documentation.
