Hm, no, I was just forgetting about tetex-doc. But maybe it's a hint to
think it over. tetex-doc is by far the biggest package we have
$ for package in tetex-base tetex-extra tetex-doc; do apt-cache show $package | grep ^Size; done
Size: 22421200
Size: 10846070
Size: 43306568
And with the current discussion on devel about whether PDF files should
generally stay un-gzipped it might even get bigger. If we leave the doc
directories in tetex-{base,extra}.install in this phase, it will be much
easier later on to decide whether we want two -doc packages. And
filtering them out would be really easy.
