Dunno about that; I was only saying that because it made me wonder if you
really did mean to have the -doc not build for Debian.

We don't keep old packages around -- so if you upload foo_1.1.dsc and
that no longer builds foo-doc.deb, then foo-doc_1.0_i386.deb won't be
kept around; and if foo-doc isn't listed in the Binary: field, it'll
be semi-automatically removed. If it is listed in the Binary: field,
we'll probably assume something weird's going on and ask first; but the
end result is that it needs to be removed or updated either way.
