+1 to -doc.

There's also -manual which could fall into the same category and
packaged just as -doc.  Someone will probably argue that -doc should be
reserved for subpackages and -manual for ones that are built from their
own SRPM, I'll say in advance that I disagree and the user doesn't
care :)


According to the Package Review guidelines it should be "docs".

- MUST: Large documentation files should go in a -docs subpackage.
