Description

I have 6.8.0 installed by running vcpkg install qt. The installation doesn't have the documentation. Normally, the documentation exists under Docs/Qt-6.8.1 when it is installed via Maintenance tool.

The other problem is that qtpaths -query shows an incorrect path for QT_INSTALL_DOCS

./packages/qtbase_x64-linux/tools/Qt6/bin/qtpaths -query

/home/orkun/vcpkg/packages/qtbase_x64-linux/doc/Qt6 has the wrong files instead of the documentation.
