Could you say more, please?  What was the percentage used in the past?

We might want to revise that percentage because of how cheap disc space
is nowadays.  It's also not clear whether the saving is significant for
low disc space systems; someone on -devel this week said that they just
have to rm -rf /usr/share/doc anyway.

It might also be worth considering the fact that having licenses in
common-licenses makes editing d/copyright easier for package
maintainers.  Previously this was overridden by disc space concerns but
that might not make sense anymore.
