I decided for the split already and then was pointed at problems with 
0.34-1 so I was rather looking for a half-decent solution now. Re-joining 
the package might be sane, too. I could just add a "Replaces: cream-doc" 
and forget about the split.

I incorrectly considered the sizes of the binary package files instead of 
the actual installed-size. This makes the split even less useful. Rats.
