I ran into this same issue in naming database fileds in tables and 
variables in my programming. I decided that the singular form is the 
preferred way to go. Because i was normally refering to a single 
instance of whatever the item was. In this case i believe the same rules 
apply. The package really contains the "documentation" not the 
"documentations". It seems silly but it makes sense for me and i have 
never had to wonder or check if my variable was "apple" or "apples".
