I checked the sizes, for most of the packages there is no problem as the
documentation part is not toobig. THe cases where we could think bout
generating it's own -doc file are:

texlive-latex-extra_2007-3_all.deb
20M     texmf-texlive
104M    doc
texlive-humanities_2007-3_all.deb
1.5M    texmf-texlive
11M     doc
texlive-latex-base_2007-4_all.deb
7.7M    texmf-texlive
37M     doc
texlive-latex-recommended_2007-4_all.deb
13M     texmf-texlive
24M     doc
texlive-metapost_2007-5_i386.deb
1.9M    texmf-texlive
11M     doc
texlive-pstricks_2007-3_all.deb
2.0M    texmf-texlive
32M     doc


Maybe also ...
texlive-pictures_2007-4_all.deb
2.6M    texmf-texlive
7.3M    doc
texlive-publishers_2007-3_all.deb
6.0M    texmf-texlive
16M     doc
texlive-science_2007-3_all.deb
2.0M    texmf-texlive
9.5M    doc
texlive-xetex_2007-5_i386.deb
980K    texmf-texlive
3.0M    doc

oreven for *all* packages. I guess that this shouldn't be a big problem
with respect to our scripts, but we should come to a coclusion if we
want to do it or not.

Best wishes

Norbert
