Bug#756266: g++-4.9: test summaries compressed twice (and why install them at all..?)
Package: g++-4.9
Version: 4.9.1-3
Severity: minor
Many of the files in /usr/share/doc/gcc-4.9-base are compressed by xz
then by gz. This seems wrong. (Reporting to g++-4.9 since that package
owns the files.)
% ls -l /usr/share/doc/gcc-4.9-base/test-summaries
total 15316

Also why do all g++ users need to have 15MB of test summaries installed?
Perhaps a note could be added to README.Debian to inform us of their
purpose. Or preferably split them out into a different package...
