I missed this part.

In this case the way I have seen other distros do it is by having a 
*-bootstrap package (same as the *-minimal that you mention), which 
doesn't sound like a bad approach.

> What about 'hiding' the normal glib package

Maybe the *-bootstrap package can be hidden. Then the normal glib 
package can have its "doc" back?
