I agree that a mere HTML rendering of what is already in the ‘info’
document and the man page is not useful enough to suggest to ‘indent’ users.

I wonder why it is packaged, then?

No, I don't think that's interesting enough to add to the README.Debian.

I think that exactly one of these is true:

* There is a useful purpose for an ‘indent-doc’ package, and ‘indent’
  should Suggests that package.

* There is no need for an ‘indent-doc’ package, and that package should not
  be generated.

By your description, it seems the latter is true.
