FC3test1:      10 * -doc,   5 * -docs,   1 * -manual.
fedora.us:      2 * -doc,   2 * -docs,   0 * -manual.
rpmseek.com: 1204 * -doc, 129 * -docs, 141 * -manual (mostly JPackage)

Dunno about renaming, but based on the above, -doc could at least be a
recommendation for new packages (but then again, IMVHO -docs "sounds"
better ;).

Well, if adding the Provides, one could add Obsoletes and rename while
at it... assuming a miracle happens and there's suddenly a consensus
what they should be renamed to.
