simple.

pkgmanualdir= ${pkgdatadir}/manual
dist_pkgmanual_DATA= gnucap-man.pdf gnucap-man.dvi

this says to install gnucap-man.pdf and gnucap-man.dvi into
${pkgdatadir}/manual (typically something like 
/usr/local/share/gnucap/manual) and also include them in the tarfile.

They only get cleaned out in maintainer mode and the rules are written 
so that if you do something like modify the .tex or .dvi file then the 
.dvi and .pdf files will be regenerated and if you don't have the tools, 
you'll simply be warned.
