Hi Uday,
You can find my changes in lp:~ulm/vm/experimental . I've split them
into several commits, so you can pick the ones that you like:

1316  Build system: Use infodir instead of info_dir throughout.

1317  Install ancillary documentation files in docdir only.
      Set default for docdir to be equal to etcdir.

1318  Remove unused and duplicate variable definitions from Makefiles.

1319  Add example.vm to list of documentation files.

1320  Don't install COPYING. The license is included in the Texinfo
      documentation already, which is also used be vm-license.el.
      (Also it's against the policy of most distros to install this file.)

Cheers,
Ulrich

Title:
  Wishlist: Install NEWS in builds

Status in VM (View Mail) for Emacs:
  In Progress

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?
