Bug#419032: texlive-base: ships too many documentation files

[Michael Prokop <mika@grml.org>]

Package: texlive-base
Severity: normal


# dpkg --list texlive\* | grep '^ii'
ii  texlive-base              2007-2         TeX Live: Essential programs and files
ii  texlive-base-bin          2007-2         TeX Live: Essential binaries
ii  texlive-common            2007-2         TeX Live: Base component
ii  texlive-doc-base          2007-2         TeX Live: Base documentation
ii  texlive-fonts-recommended 2007-2         TeX Live: Recommended fonts
ii  texlive-lang-german       2007-2         TeX Live: German
ii  texlive-latex-base        2007-2         TeX Live: Basic LaTeX packages
ii  texlive-latex-recommended 2007-2         TeX Live: LaTeX recommended packages

=> So I don't have texlive/texlive-full metapackages installed.

But /usr/share/doc/texlive* ships more than 80MB though I don't have
any doc-packages (besides texlive-doc-base which is a dependency of
texlive-base) on my system :

# du -sh /usr/share/doc/texlive*
4.4M    /usr/share/doc/texlive-base
9.9M    /usr/share/doc/texlive-base-bin
92K     /usr/share/doc/texlive-common
1.8M    /usr/share/doc/texlive-doc
1.1M    /usr/share/doc/texlive-doc-base
3.1M    /usr/share/doc/texlive-fonts-recommended
332K    /usr/share/doc/texlive-lang-german
37M     /usr/share/doc/texlive-latex-base
23M     /usr/share/doc/texlive-latex-recommended

:(

Any chance that you can provide all the big files (especially the
PDF files) in a separate, optional doc-package?
