Comment:

 Replying to [comment:2 dports@…]:
 > IMO, doc variants are a good idea for exactly this reason.
 Well, you can't generalize it that way. Not all doc variants are covered
 by this recommendation (some, like fontconfig's, removed in #20233, do not
 pull in additional dependencies, and are thus not an inconvenience to the
 user), and non-documentation variants are involved too. Basically, we like
 ports to have as many features as possible, while not burdening the user
 with heavy dependencies for features they may not need; for optional parts
 with heavy dependencies, we create variants.

 In libzzip's case, let's move documentation to a doc variant, since
 texlive is a rather heavy dependency. If we discover later in only needs a
 smaller subset of texlive that isn't so heavy we can reconsider this.
