Splitting a package between doc and binary



The gri package for i386 is 2MB in size.  About 3/4 of that are
docs suitable for all archs.

Should I split the package to save space on servers (sharing the
doc) and keep it as is to reduce name space and number of
packages?

I do think most gri users will want the docs (especially since
it's a programming language, so users need to learn it).  But
perhaps a minority of users would upgrade the binary package and
not necessarily the docs package as often if they were on a modem
connection. 

Thanks,

Peter
