At http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#PackageDocumentation we 
can read "it is recommended to use *-doc as the subpackage name", whereas in 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/ReviewGuidelines we can read 
"- MUST: Large documentation files should go in a -docs subpackage."

So, could we agree on one policy? FC and FE seem to mix the two styles of 
naming. Looking at /var/cache/yum/{core,extras}/primary.xml.gz, if found in 
fe5:
  30 "-doc"
  19 "-docs"
and in fc5:
  16 "-doc"
  5 "-docs"
