Sure, I intended that indeed.
But the fact that it is in that .zip file does not imply that it will
end up in the same monolithic package that users install: distribution
editors routinely split up monolithic "upstream" packages in several
different "downstream" packages.
So, sorry to disappoint you, but I haven't really changed my initial
request.

I agree that *currently* it is the best option, and as reported I've
already cloned the repo. I was just requesting a feature that could have
helped other users like myself (you know, not all users are equal in
their needs). Anyhow, it is pretty evident that my goal of having
self-contained offline documentation is just not shared by others on
this list, so don't worry, I'll shut up in the future.
Cheers.
