Maybe you can do a better job than I did of convincing people that hawkmoth will useful to a broad enough set of users of Debian to make the maintenance burden worthwhile. One very common justification is that it is or will be required to build other packages. A quick search for "hawkmoth" on codesearch.debian.net suggest that it is at least used upstream by some other packages. I don't know what those packages are doing now (not building docs?) but maybe you do, since one of them is mesa. OTOH network manager references hawkmoth via a vendored library, which supports the guess of not building docs.
