How big is this documentation? Is it big enough to have a -doc package?
If so, you might consider just building the -doc on your own system and
loading it up as a with Architecture: all.
This is impure, but pragmatic. It is impure because anyone else who
wants to build it will have to do so by hand. It is pragmatic because
the autobuilders won't have to build it (or anyone else, either).
