I agree with everything you've pointed out. So let's leave making it
compulsory for the time being and start figuring out a way to help
people to do it. Filing bugs *with the correct Build-Depends line
already worked out* would be one good way. We could probably use the
autobuilder info to work on that.
Fixing packages which still use /usr/doc is probably more urgent,
though! Have bugs been filed on all of them?
