Re: changelog and /usr/share/doc/package as a symlink

That's pretty subjective, about "lots of disk".
A more solid reasoning:
'Are the upstream source packages distributed as different tarballs?'
(rather than hacking the pristine-upstream-source to include the -data
portion, they should be distributed separately)
'Are there more than one package that requires that arch-independant package?'
But that's nothing to do with providing a symlink to usr/share/doc/package
that's a maintainer decision.
