Yes, I agree. I don't think we should include dead projects in trixie
if there's no good reason to do so.

gnome-api-docs and gnome-devel (both in src:meta-gnome3) seem to be the
only packages that depend on gnome-devel-docs, so we can drop those
dependencies any time, and then do a RM: RoM when that change has been
uploaded.
