You're imagining things ;) It says:

refresh:
        cd doc && wget -N -R "*keyring*" -R "*INDEX*" \
          ftp://ftp.hr.debian.org/debian/doc/*
        chmod 644 doc/*

It doesn't touch FAQ/, currently because I've hacked the makefile.

It doesn't really matter, since the package is binary-all and rarely needs
to be rebuilt.
