Hmm...  I'm going to have to investigate this some more.  From what
I've read, the info pages (and optionally the man pages) are intended
to be built from those non-free sources.  This makes it seem like
emacs-ivy-doc should contain the bulk of the documentation; however,
there is one exception that ivy.el references.

Maybe later? :-)  At this point in time I'd like to focus on my RFPs
and ITPs.  It's something that will need to be done, but it seems a
bit early still.

Hmm, I've decided to strip documentation from emacs-ivy for now,
because I recently read (on debian-devel) that html documentation is
supposed to go in the -doc package and not the primary package.  If,
as I wait for the conversation to develop on -devel, a user files a
request for documentation bug, then I'll rename it as an ITP for
emacs-ivy-doc and will have to prioritise all of this.

Cheers,
Nicholas

P.S. The git repo is an a reasonable state and I think it might be
time for a preliminary RFS.
