Right, I didn't check when writing that, but this is what my match would
catch:
% grep -E '^Package: .*-docs-.+$' /var/lib/apt/Packages
Package: fp-docs-3.0.4
Package: xorg-docs-core
%

Which are probably fine enough.
I was thinking of that case just as an hypothetical, not as a real case.
I'll let you choose if it's something to add to the check or not
(probably not indeed).
