No, that other issue is not a bug: DEB_INSTALL_DOCS_libgtkspell3-3-0 
overrides only DEB_INSTALL_DOCS_DEFAULT, not DEB_INSTALL_DOCS_ALL.

(It would've been more intuitive if auto-detected files were included 
only by default, but that's not how it was introduced many years ago, 
and will need an epoch to change now.)

Here's how to only include README only in -dev:

DEB_INSTALL_DOCS_ALL =
DEB_INSTALL_DOCS_libgtkspell3-3-dev = README

Here's how to include README in -dev, and auto-detect only for -doc:

DEB_INSTALL_DOCS_libgtkspell3-3-doc := $(DEB_INSTALL_DOCS_ALL)
DEB_INSTALL_DOCS_ALL =
DEB_INSTALL_DOCS_libgtkspell3-3-dev = README

The latter example must be declared _after_ snippet inclusion - for the 
former example order does not matter.
