In my case, the architecture independent data (in /usr/share) are really
quite large: ~10 MB. However, most of this (~ 7MB) goes into the html
help (containing many images --> bad compression), which is more-or-less
indepenendent of the package itself. Therefore, I am planning to
separate the documentation into a saods9-doc package and make the saods9
package dependend on the -doc. 

Would this be reasonable? I would allow a (usable) installation of the
documentation without the need to install the whole package (and its
dependency nightmare) - for whatever reason one would need this.
