I think that is overkill to be honest. The doc.u.c website always
shows the latest development version of everything.

The front page of doc.u.c makes it relatively clear where "released"
docs can be found, I would hope that's enough, combined with the
header of the website.

We certainly should do something about this, maybe even by excluding
doc.u.c from google at all... linking to it from the docteam wiki page
may well be good enough.

If you could file a bug about that and indicate what pages you are
referring to, it will ensure that we don't forget it.
