It is the same for our packages. Let me quote Eitan's reply to my question:

The behavior for electric documentation always worked this way. However,
there was a separate indexer that ran off of rosinstall files
documenting whatever was in them, but that is no longer run in favor of
the new system. It's possible that this old indexer produced your
headers and documentation, but the docs for electric specifically were
never generated. With the old wiki, no one would have noticed this as
per-distro browsing wasn't something that was really possible to do. The
old indexer job was kind of weird to begin with since it could allow for
documentation to be mixed between distros... leading to some weird effects.
Best,
Christian
