This is the result of either the Ruby gem or rdoc commands that are used
to install my package (a Ruby gem) and not a function of my gem itself.
I'll go look at the changelog for both of those tools to see if
something changed between the versions on F16 and F17+.

Ajax recommended this to me in IRC. So for F16 the -doc package is
arch-specific.
