 Disable the fallback on subprojects/gi-docgen -- if py-docgen is not found 
 on the system, the shipped fallback in 'subprojects' would be tried. This is
 unwanted behaviour.
 
+As gtk_doc option is 'boolean' instead of 'feature', disabling the
+option makes the dependency optional instead of disable the check.
