Some possible drawbacks:

- It's not consistent with the other Glib/GNOME libraries like gtk+ or
  webkitgtk which have a "doc" output.

- Previously we had glib:doc and no measure can be taken to let the user
  know that it's now "glib-doc".

So I would got for the glib-minimal route.

This bring me to another problem: "glib:doc" was not deprecated, so
users who installed "glib:doc" cannot update their manifests / profiles
after a guix pull.

Can we actually deprecate single outputs?
If not, isn't it a bug?
