We have a standard; I'm just continually confused about which one
actually is the standard.  Both names were used in various wiki pages
and I just can't keep it straight.  A look through what's currently in
extras shows little agreement, although more -doc than -docs.

Getting this in the naming guidelines would indeed be a good idea.
Write access to those pages has been restricted so we'll have to go
through the packaging committee (i.e. currently just spot).
