Doc package naming



Hi,

I'm noticing Haskell packages with all sorts of names for docs:

ftphs-doc - FTP Client and Server Library for Haskell, documentation
haskell-haskelldb-doc - API documentation of haskelldb
haskell-haskelldb-hsql-mysql-doc - API documentation of haskelldb-hsql-mysql
libghc6-hunit-doc - Haskell unit testing framework for GHC; documentation
libghc6-parsec-doc - Haskell monadic parser combinator library for GHC; documentation

I think we need to discuss this naming.

For of all, I don't like libghc6-*-doc, because many of these packages
are useful not just for GHC, but also for Hugs.

Secondly, why duplicate "haskell" in haskell-haskelldb-doc?

Thirdly, though, does using the source name in ftphs-doc make sense?

Just looking for some consensus here.
