I believe I've done this correctly based on the way other kickstart data
is used, but I'm not particularly familiar with python.
I won't be able to test this until at least tomorrow, but wanted to
submit it in case someone can tell me it's completely broken, there's a
better way, or in case I hit the nail on the head and it can be merged
sooner rather than later.
Thanks.

the
yum api and whether or not it would support passing along standard rpm
arguments or if yum itself might need to be modified.
It should be pretty straight-forward. pykickstart already parses a
--excludedocs argument to %packages. When that argument is given, we
just need to set the rpm macro _excludedocs to 1. If someone wants to
whip up the patch, I would have no problem at all applying it
