I got enough requests from people who want the sysadmin-facing
documentation installed by default (including a mild preference from
Helmut who I generally align with on issues like this).
I got a request from Helmut to minimize build dependencies.
With the exception of Simon Richter, we appear to be agreed that
avoiding man pages in m-a: same packages is good.
So what I'm going to do is move the developer man pages into libpam-doc
and the sysadmin man pages into libpam-runtime.
I'll be open to requests from people who want to minimize essential set
to move the sysadmin man pages to libpam-doc, but so far I'm not seeing
that.
I think this means:
* build-arch will not need the doc tools
* nodoc alone isn't enough to avoid the doc tools because of
libpam-runtime
* bootstrapping can reuse libpam-runtime so pam at least won't bring
the xml docbook stack into bootstrapping essential.
* I will recommend libpam-doc from libpam0g-dev
