Martin, Good question and several reasons. Build time isn’t as much of a factor as most of the packages that create the –dbg and –doc packages are core packages that don’t get rebuilt very often. The big reason is that I’m using a copy of the tmp/deploy/ipk/ directory for firmware upgrade for our devices and trying to reduce the clutter. By just going through and deleting all the –dbg and –doc packages from the ipk/ directory I reduced its size from about 300 MB to about 150 MB (side note: the 300 MB ipk/ directory size was after some additional cleanup. I recently reset my tmp/ directory as the ipk/ directory had grown to 700 MB with different stuff I have tried). Since one method of firmware upgrade for us is through a USB stick, the smaller that directory gets the easier it is to transfer to a USB stick. So my thought was that if I’m building the packages for a production setup in which the –dbg and –doc packages will never be used, why bother even generating them in the first place?
My overall goal, which this is part of, is to reduce the resulting ipk/ directory to only the packages that are actually used by the image I built. Based on my final image size, if I only include the packages that are used for the image I believe I could get the ipk/ directory to under 50 MB. Making it that small would make some options, such as providing a download from our company’s website for our customers, more reasonable.

Why do you want to disable them? All the files are already there, so packaging them in right package doesn't cost much (if your reason was build time).

I'm not using any of the -dbg and the -doc packages and I'd like to clean things up for my build by not building these packages in the first place across the entire system. I see references in the documentation to these package types, but I haven't found anything about how to keep the system from generating them. I tried going into meta/conf/bitbake.conf and modifying the PACKAGES variable to look as follows: PACKAGES = "${PN}-staticdev ${PN}-dev ${PN}-locale ${PACKAGE_BEFORE_PN} ${PN}" This caused a bunch of packages to get rebuilt and seemed to be working until it got to the libpam package.
