So a while back there seems to have been agreement that runtime
shouldn't depend on anything marked as %doc because it could be not
installed in cases where --excludedocs is used. For this reason for
example, we moved the RPM GPG keys out of %doc.
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines
But I don't see any such rule or even a suggestion in the packaging
guidelines. Should it be in there?
Furthermore I wonder if there should be any rule or suggestion of how
install-info should be used within a %post scriptlet. I see some
packages redirect the output of install-info to /dev/null, and
install-info's man page also describes a --quiet option. Might we
recommend in guidelines the use of this to suppress the warning that
happens when a package is installed with --excludedocs?
