So, I grabbed fmirror today because an admin friend suggested it.  I cd'ed to
/usr/share/doc/fmirror and low and behold, no /usr/share/doc/fmirror.  I check
the changelog and this binary-any package has not been uploaded in 2 years.  It
is standards version 2.3.0.1, ICK!

So, perhaps we should drop the bar a little.  If your package is not at least
3.x.x, it gets held.
