 The doc packages are no longer available because the past discussion
 reached a consensus that generating them is a bit tricky and most of
 people do not need such packages because the latest documentation is
 always available on the web.  It does not mean maintaining them is
 absolutely harmful for something, though.

 I think removing a part mentioning the documentation package would be
 fine for the moment.
