But why would an old installed emacs-* binaries needs the new one to
bring their DOC files.

The current situation is like the example as follows:

         emacs-22.0.92.8 installs:
                                 DOC-22.0.92.8
                                 DOC-22.0.92.7
                                 DOC-22.0.92.6
                                 DOC-22.0.92.5
                                 DOC-22.0.92.4
                                 DOC-22.0.92.3
                                 DOC-22.0.92.2
                                 DOC-22.0.92.1
         emacs-22.0.92.7 installs       
                                 DOC-22.0.92.7
                                 DOC-22.0.92.6
                                 DOC-22.0.92.5
                                 DOC-22.0.92.4
                                 DOC-22.0.92.3
                                 DOC-22.0.92.2
                                 DOC-22.0.92.1
         emacs-22.0.92.6 installs
                                 DOC-22.0.92.6
                                 DOC-22.0.92.5
                                 DOC-22.0.92.4
                                 DOC-22.0.92.3
                                 DOC-22.0.92.2
                                 DOC-22.0.92.1
         ......

Shouldn't it be something like this:
         emacs-22.0.92.8 installs:
                                 DOC-22.0.92.8         
         emacs-22.0.92.7 installs:
                                 DOC-22.0.92.7
         emacs-22.0.92.6 installs:
                                 DOC-22.0.92.6
         ......

In this case if you have old emacs-* binaries the corresponding DOC-*
are also available. And if you don't you get a cleaner install.
