The problem isn't so much the package itself, more its dependencies.
People don't want to have to docbook packages to read devel docs (if
they don't actually need gtk-doc in their own modules).

This could be done at a package level though, with a sub-package
containing the gtk-doc directory where the devel docs get installed, as
well as the icons.

I'm not sure that changing a web page based on themes is a good idea...
