Option 4:

Have two source packages, package1 and package1-for-docs. They’d have
exactly the same upstream tarball, but of course different debian/-dirs:
      * The first builds the binaries and no docs.
      * The second source package builds only the docs.
The gain is that the second source package can build-depend on package2
without introducing build dependency cycles. I’d say it justifies the
slight unprettiness of having the same tarball twice in the archive.

Greetings,
Joachim
