I think the main concern was just space. So, looking at the bugs
filed, the documentation takes ~86MB, ~36MB squashed. Most all
of that is the cloudy package (a bunch of PDFs), octave (which
includes the docs in *BOTH* PDF and HTML form for the main manual,
and one seperate document in PDF, DVI, PS, HTML, Texinfo, and info
form!), and wxPython (9MB of samples and demos).

I suspect it's much simpler to weed out extraneous docs than to
worry about splitting off random -doc packages inconsistently.
