Yes, that's what I did.
Looking quickly at why I had this, I have a need to remove those things
which are related to documentation, to get a reasonable value.
Many number of package which depend on tetex/sgml-base/texinfo
to build documentation is depended upon (eventually) by
tetex/sgml-base/texinfo.
Becayse many libs come with documentation in texinfo, etc.
This is probably the main reason people need to cross-compile,
because initially there is no native text-compilers,
because there is no native library available, because
there is not native ... whatever.
