If the docs are huge (or even just large ;-) *and* they release on
a slightly different timeframe than the programs, you likely want them in
a wholly separate package.  Otherwise end users end up updating one or the
other needlessly.

(ie: docs and programs packages installed.  Update just the program; end user
ends up having to update both packages since the build created new versions
of both.)
