Indeed. Only about 1.3% have -docs. (3282 vs 43)

I do have a patch for that (attached), but I actually think that the
upload, going through the NEW queue and annoying users with
transitional packages are not worth the effort.
I've also pushed that patch[1] into a branch called
fte-docs-rename[2]. If anyone thinks, this is really worth the effort,
feel free to merge the patch into the master branch and make a QA
upload.
