Yes, I've filtered those out. They don't add enough to justify keeping
them in the rotation. Compare, for example, apt and apt-doc. Most
descriptions for 'apt-foo' will be like 'Contains documentation for foo
in various formats', and the interesting exceptions are rare.
Similarly, -dev, -dbg, -i18n-, and some others are filtered out.
Note that the filtering is currently just done by a regex on the package
name, so .*book will be be left in. (autobook and rutebook are left
out because they're in non-free, not because they're filtered.)
