[splitting packages] is this a normal way of doing things? if so this is what i'd do.
While it's an usual thing to split a -doc package, I think that for the test suite there isn't a strict policy
Well the policy gets involved because you should have a separate package if the architecture independent part (/usr/share/foo) gets 'too big'. This resulted in the splitting of sbcl into sbcl and sbcl-doc for example. Another reason to split a package is when a part is not always needed. For example slime is not slime (client) and cl-swank (server) parts because it is possible to run the swank on another machine then the client. Both cases do not seem to apply in this case: the lisp package is architecture independent by nature and the documentation is useless without the package.
