Well suited to remove all subpackages together with the main one. Leads me to the question, whether "%package" is supported by OpenPKG ? This way, one could create subpackages like "pkg-doc, pkg-examples, ...". Using the "%doc" directive is a little bit clumsy. Also, by definition, manpages belong to %doc. And when someone wants to get rid of unimportant (and sometimes large) doc stuff e.g. on peripheral servers, one would also remove the manpages, when one uses "rpm --excludedocs". But manpages are always desirable, IMHO. On the other hand there should be as much documentation as possible - and that conflicts with the OpenPKG goal, to install only the really important stuff. When there were subpackages, people could easyly get rid of stuff they deem as not important.
