Bug#834775: gcc-6: Massive package size increase w.r.t gcc-5

[Celelibi <celelibi@gmail.com>]

Package: gcc-6
Version: 6.1.1-11
Severity: normal

Dear maintainer,

The package gcc-5 used to take up only 24 MB of disk space, while gcc-6
now takes almost 120 MB. That's near a 100 MB increase. It seems really
unreasonable for "just a compiler".

Would it be possible to investigate what takes so much disk space and
possibly reduce the disk usage ?
Maybe by splitting some stuff into a recommended / suggested packages.


Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Celelibi
