While talking about noarch package i'm quite interrested in 
https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2101
What about splitting handbooks from normal packages ?
using as suggested by ahmad in comment9 some kdebase4-handbook for example to 
install all of them or going even further with a meta package requiring 
konsole-handbook etc etc ?
It would simply the installation of documentation for live-cd users?
(& we can use the 4.7.1 release to do this change )
