Thanks for checking that. I was going to leave it until it was in 
Experimental to test it. It turns out that there are quite a few files 
in the upstream data directory (where the docs are) that are also needed 
as configuration for vmpk. Working out which is which (app or doc) turns 
out to be very hard, so I think I will drop the separate -doc package 
and put it all back in one. The docs are pretty light weight anyway.

Unfortunately, real life got in the way and I now have missed the 
deadline. So I will drop this down the priority list for now.
