Actually, if the doc distro becomes a set of packages then sysinstall
doesn't need to know about them as a special case at all (which is
good, every package dependency sysinstall gets is another millstone
around my neck).  They can just show up in the packages menu and
people can select docs, if they wish, while they're selecting their
favorite shells or editors.
