[arch-general] Arch doc inclusion policy

Hey everybody,

looking through my /usr/share/doc today I noticed that there were
surprisingly few packages that actually installed their documentation
there. Not even the SDL package installed its docs in there. I don't
mind this too much as I carry all kinds of library documentation in my
home directory with me at all times to have it accessible when I have no
Internet connection available.

This left me wondering, though, what Arch's general policy is on
inclusion/exclusion of library/tool/package documentation for
/usr/share/doc and if this policy should be generally applied to AUR
packages as well.
