And since you've asked for the distros' point of view, here is the one
from Gentoo:

- README and NEWS should go to /usr/share/doc/vm
- Pixmap files (*.xpm) should go under
     /usr/share/emacs/etc/vm (first choice) or
     /usr/share/vm (second choice)

Status in VM (View Mail) for Emacs: Triaged

Bug description:
The VM NEWS file gets lost when distros install VM.  Change the build process so that it gets installed in emacs/etc.  

Ulrich thinks all VM-related files should go into a subdirectory $(prefix)/share/emacs/etc/vm.  Other files that could go into this subdirectory are 

CHANGES
README
TODO

Perhaps the images files should go here too?
