FWIW with this patch we have exactly the same behaviour as (for example) a 
Fedora 15 : installing qt-demos brings a qt-demo program which can launch the 
demos and examples but lacks the explanation text, installing qt-docs brings 
the text (in a 126MB rpm !).

in fact the text comes from the html directory in the qt doc which is quite 
big : 184MB. After a few research, it seems "only" 36MB of these 184MB are 
used by qtdemo, so we could quite easily split qt-doc in 2 packages : 
qt-demo-doc and qt-doc.
