This is what I use for a few Docker image builds:
$ cat /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg.d/10local-exclude
path-exclude=/usr/share/doc/*
path-exclude=/usr/share/man/*
path-include=/usr/share/doc/*/copyright
path-exclude=/usr/share/locale/*
path-include=/usr/share/locale/en/*
path-include=/usr/share/locale/en_US/*
and it seems to work fine. They're processed in order, so that excludes
all the documentation except the copyright file, as well as locales we
don't use, and manual packages (no need for in a Docker image). This
works at least as far back as Wheezy.
