If the package is intended to be used for just the woody debian-installer,
manpages and so on seem like bloat and a bad idea.
However, we might want to come up with a new section of the archive to
put such packages, since they arn't really full quality .deb's. I think
woody/main/install-i386/modules/ makes sense, or something like that.
woody/main/binary-i386/installer/ may be easier to set up, but is a bit
less clean.
