Sorry for a late answer, but you can always get doc out of woody, you just have to do it "a la RedHat": ftp the package and dpkg -i it. Most of the doc packages don't have dependencies other than 'suggests: www-browser' and the likes, which shouldn't be a problem. Check it out on packages.debian.org.
