was removed in r318881 when roff was removed from the base
system.
This results in the doc.txz distribution set containing a
single directory (./) which is empty.
Remove the "Additional documentation" option from the menu
selection of bsdinstall(8), as the plain-text documentation
installed in /usr/share/doc is installed as part of the
packageworld target.
The doc entry has not been removed from EXTRA_DISTRIBUTIONS
in Makefile.inc1, in case its removal triggers an issue with
freebsd-update(8), which is currently aware of the world/doc
component, so the empty doc.txz continues to be created as
a precaution.

- Rework MANIFEST generation and parsing via bsdinstall(8).
- Allow selecting debugging distribution sets during install.
- Rework bsdinstall(8) to fetch remote debug distribution sets
when they are not available on the local install medium.
- Allow selecting additional non-GENERIC kernels during install.
At present, GENERIC is still required, and installed by default.

update paths; and include everything in the "base" distribution.
The "games" distribution being optional made sense when there were more
games and we had small disks; but the "games-like" games were moved into
the ports tree a dozen years ago and the remaining "utility-like" games
occupy less than 0.001% of my laptop's small hard drive. Meanwhile every
new user is confronted by the question "do you want games installed" when
they they try to install FreeBSD.
The next steps will be:
2. Removing punch card (bcd, ppt), phase-of-moon (pom), clock (grdc), and
caesar cipher (caesar, rot13) utilities. I intend to keep fortune, factor,
morse, number, primes, and random, since there is evidence that those are
still being used.
3. Merging src/games into src/usr.bin.
This change will not be MFCed.
