I’m tempted to say the users of libsoup-minimal used to depend on
libsoup <at> 2, so they put libsoup-minimal-2, but then the package required
libsoup <at> 3, and they just removed the "-2" suffix. Is there another
reason packages would want a doc-less version of libsoup?

I can make another series revision where libsoup-minimal is a
deprecated-package pointing to libsoup, or a doc-less libsoup <at> 3. I
think the deprecated-package solution is the most useful. What do you
think?
