That misses (random pickings):
apt-dpkg-ref

    apt-howto-common

        apt-howto-de

            apt-howto-en

               bible-kjv

                   bible-kjv-text

                       debian-policy

                           debian-reference-common

                               debian-reference-de

                                   debian-reference-en

                                       developers-reference
....
and much more,

all of which belong to the 'doc' section.
