That suggests there should be something like gtk-doc and gtk-devel. I don't know if that is easily done and whether it fits the upstream packaging scheme. Gnome has a habit of pulling in lots of baggage on GNU/Linux distributions, too. The _real_ solution would be if the "soft" dependencies of a package could be stubbed out so that when you do need them, they'll request the installation of whatever is missing.
