I see. However, I remember that discussion being done well before the
freeze. But it's not vital anyway, even with man pages and full docs
Debian provides _very_ small systems:

|haber@zoeller[1/233]:~$ df -h
|Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
|/dev/hda6              46M   13M   30M  31% /
|/dev/hda7             942M   58M  836M   6% /mnt/main7
|/dev/hda8             2.0G   40M  1.9G   2% /mnt/main8
|/dev/hda9             517M   56k  491M   0% /mnt/main9

This is a new machine, production-ready. With a disk footprint like
this for a production machine, it is easy to surprise people who only
know Redhat and SuSE. Well done, Debian.

Greetings
Marc
