I just recieved one of these bugs (#492446), and I'm not sure
why we'd do this for any package.
If we split the docs like this:
- it would be inconsistent per-package
-- so an admin wouldn't know whether a package had docs or not in
the main package without manually trying to install a foo-doc
subpackage
-- they would no longer be there by default if they're needed
Hence, why do this, when rpm already has a --nodocs flag and
macro that can be used for space savings on live images?
yum's tsflags option in yum.conf also accepts 'nodocs'
unfortunately, if you're using rpm -V it won't know about --nodocs being
passed in on install.
