It shouldn't be that difficult to install *copyright* but not any other
files in that directory. If the aim is to have all the copyright files on
every system then some option to skip all the other doco would achieve this by
not making it worth-while to do "rm -rf /usr/doc/*" after package
installation.
Also it would be good to be able to skip man pages, many machines just don't
need them.
