I filed a bug against this a while ago(#40431 & #40429). The vncserver
maintainer states that the vnc-doc package is obsolete and should have
been removed from the archive before slink and that it adds bloat(all
the info in vnc-doc is redundant with what is in the vncserver
packages). I don't know if I agree with this or not.
