The logic is the other way around.  --enable-maintainer-mode *always* 
enables maintainer-mode.  --disable-docs *always* disables doing 
anything with the docs.

The "magic" is if you have git sources *and* you have not disabled 
building of the docs, then you get a messge like

checking if maintainer-mode is requred - yes (building documentation 
with git sources requires it)

and it is turned on regardless of what you have asked for.  Thats is the 
only case where it is messed around with.
