No, that was just me not carefully checking what GUB did for the
documentation tarball and nobody complaining for the 2.23.6 release. I
guess GUB did a "make install-doc" to also include the info and man
pages? What we package right now are the HTML pages and PDFs, what you
used to find in share/doc/.

But since you are apparently a user of the tarball, may I ask which
formats you look at? Would you potentially benefit from splitting the
PDFs and having a smaller archive?
