Sorry, I don't know about it. Do you have pointers to some doc ?

Not at all. I advocate independant packages for doc, source-code and
binary, that would contain homogeneous file-formats. Thus a "source"
package would "Depend" on other packages (source or binary), just in
the same way binary-pacakges do; and doc packages would just do the
same.
