I did it for texlive-base-bin, but not for texlive-base.

No for now.

Split done. And I won't split the package itself, to much hassle.

Those I do not split: These languages are so specific, if you want to
install them the documentation will not hurt.

Same here, who wants musi[c/x]tex will get the documentation. Splitting
makes no sense. And if we add the /usr/bin sizes than it is comparable.

I agree.


So to some up:
texlive-bin:
	texlive-base-bin
	texlive-metapost
texlive-extra:
	texlive-fonts-extra
	texlive-latex-extra
	texlive-pstricks
	texlive-publishers
	texlive-humanities
	texlive-science
texlive-base:
	texlive-latex-base
	texlive-latex-recommended
	texlive-fonts-recommended
	texlive-pictures

Best wishes
