Bug#561720: lintian: arch-dep-package-has-big-usr-share should only trigger for a minimum absolute

[Christoph Egger <christoph@debian.org>]

Package: lintian
Version: 2.2.18
Severity: wishlist

	It would be nice if the arch-dep-package-has-big-usr-share tag
would only appear for package sizes > some sensible value. Creating a
extra package to save some bytes of arch-all stuff is certainly not
the intended behaviour and I find myself ignoring this warning often
enough to open this bug (like some -dev package that has some bytes of
documentation).

Regards

	Christoph
