It is difficult to provide a distinction for some cases[1]. I propose to treat such cases in the most strict way: they should pass both filters, Debian limitations for software(programs) and for documentations (originally proposed by John Goerzen).
[1] http://www.codon.org.uk/~mjg59/scratch/ifupdown-0.6.4/ifupdown.nwThere are cases, when we can easely distinguish, is it documentation or program. For example, emacs info files are definitely documentation.
