I just found out there's also a '--docfiles' switch that lists all documentation, so this works:

rmp -qad
Granted, most of it are licenses, but there's quite a few man pages, too.
well spotted

How could I perform a (both installed and non-installed) package search on the CLI? The equivalent of
Code:
apt-cache search
???
Code:
 pkcon search someText
or
Code:
 pkcon search name packageName
and grep the output by e.g. ' | grep ^Installed' or ' | grep ^Available' and so on...

And what's pkcon? Is the combination rpm/pkcon something that some other distros also use? I'm not very familiar with rpm-based distros.
see it like
dpkg - rpm
apt - pkcon
??? - zypper

I have never heard of pkcon, and dnf or yum aren't installed.
normally only one package kit per distribution?

Does Sailfish possibly use something like docpurge (Fremantle uses that to save space)?
no idea
