Bug#62941: locales too big for base_2.2.tgz



Severity: wishlist
Package: locales

the locales package is too big for the potato base_2_2.tgz. 13mb is a
lot as at that point in time (fresh installed debian - first boot) noone
seems to care about locales.

A tiny-locales package which will contain only the C locale should be
better and much smaller (locales has 13mb)

I tried to install a minimal potato on a 48Mb partition and failed -
base.tgz didn't had enough space to expand. I had to rm
/usr/share/locales/* while the tgz was uncompressed. :(
