From the link you posted:

I'm happy to have a shot at making a doxygen.info and doxygen-docs.info
doxygen-docs can bring in everything needed to build the doxygen
samples, but would not need to be depended on by anything. doxygen
proper would be built to always work with whatever was installed at
runtime. If a package needed doxygen with graphviz, it could depend on
both of them.

Does this seem like a reasonable and useful approach to others?
