ReviewBoard 1.5.5 and 1.6beta2.1

What's the URL of the page containing the problem?
N/A

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. tar zvfz ReviewBoard-1.5.5.tar.gz
2. cd ReviewBoard-1.5.5.tar.gz
3. make -C docs/manual SPHINXOPTS=-N

For the record, I can generate the docs from a git checkout, so I suspect the issue occurs during the release process.
#2 meen****@gmai***** (Google Code) (Is this you? Claim this profile.) 
Same problem in ReviewBoard-1.6.1.tar.gz.  The problem is that the tarball is missing docs/manual/docs.db.  The file is in the download tag located at https://github.com/reviewboard/reviewboard/downloads.  When I copy just that one file to the release version, it builds successfully.

The docs are more meant for the website, but fair enough. I think we're just excluding something we shouldn't be.

Fixed on release-1.6.x (c9be958). This will be part of RB 1.6.5, whenever that's released.
