I guess few people know about the doc packages and/or most of people
read the docs online only...
Well, what do you think about removing the current doc packages and
providing ports which simply fetch and install tarballs built
in doc/$LANGCODE during a full build?
In the ports collection, periodical build check is performed
on pointyhat and they have better visibility for people, I think.
