gi-docgen is not yet stable, and the upstream developer recommends
vendoring it (as a Meson subproject) for now. When gi-docgen gets out
of NEW, I don't intend to move it from experimental to unstable until
its upstream developer is willing to support it being used un-vendored.

A vendored or un-vendored gi-docgen needs some patches and some
Files-Excluded for Debian use: see the gtk4 and pango1.0 packages for
examples.
