Hi,
I'm maintaining ipython in [community]. Right now, the PKGBUILD just
removes all the docs. I can see the reasoning.
The compressed package size grows nearly five-fold when they are included.
I have several options. I can keep on stripping docs, I can include the
docs in the ipython package, or I can generate a split package.
I wrote a PKGBUILD that produces the split packages ipython and
ipython-doc. I noticed that koffice from [extra] has its docs split. But
nobody seems to be doing that for anything in [community].
So should I go ahead and commit my split PKGBUILD?

IMHO you should split it.
Agreed. namcap from [testing] should give you a warning about too many
docs if you left it in one package.
Also, what prefix docs packages should have? Because I see more -docs and a lot
of -doc (mainly texlive packages) in our repo.
docs? Not that it matters...
