Is there a proposal on this field at all? I ask because I'm interested
in knowning more about what you're suggesting. I can think of some syntax
that would be helpful. One that comes to mind is:
Package: libfoo-dev
Documentation: any(foo), rfc(2549)
Package: libfoo-doc
Provides-Documentation: doc-base(foo), manpages(foo)
It just seems to me that documentation would be topical and media-
grouped rather than a package naming paradigm. The RFC type could be
expanded to https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc{ID}, for example.
