Understood...

I was thinking on this too but it has an negative impact, since you have
to install the whole thing first... where you can run out of space in
small systems and then you have to purge it...
While looking into the apt-hooks, I do not know how they are working and
whether it is possibel to purge the unneccesary file after unpacking of
EACH SINGEL PACKAGE since purging after unpacking of ALL PACKAGES can be
a killer...
And then there is a second thing:
Since some systems do not need /usr/share/doc/* there could be a hook
too which eliminate those GBytes of stuff... But it should leave "-doc"
packages as they are...
