I want to reiterate that the list above was just off the top of my head
meant as an example more than to be definitive. For most of these
examples I would think that main is a more reasonable target.
But, I'd also love to see the requirements for Universe be something
higher than just the DFSG. For instance, I believe Debian requires
everything in /usr/bin to have a man page. Many of these I see as the
modern desktop equivalent of having a man page.
