I suppose they can be separate components as long as all three are
required.  We already separate the "data" component but it is also
required.  Only cmake-gui, ccmake, and the documentation components
are optional.

No, my comments on that were just to distinguish our use case from
Debian's policy.  I think sphinx-man can be just like sphinx-html
except for covering the man-format documentation.

Once we identify the final set of components I can help draft the
description text for them.
