I recommend not filing bugs on documentation until after sarge. The

for sarge, so, given that your bugs suggest some highly invasive
solutions, why be unnecessarily disruptive now?

If you insist on filing these bugs pre-sarge, yes, please do so.

As a matter of fact it may do depending on the contextual circumstances.
(For example, updates to frozen packages are difficult and therefore
limited.)

The number of these that relate to frozen packages scares me. You are
likely to create a good deal of work for the release management team.
:-( In future, please perform such widespread audits *before* base
system freezes, not *during* them.
