The emacs20-dl packages seem to contain a very large amount of architecture-independent data in architecture-dependent packages, specifically data installed under /usr/share. This is wasteful of mirror space and bandwidth, as we then end up with multiple copies of this data, one for each architecture. Policy is quite clear on this point: http://www.debian.org/doc/developers-reference/ch-best-pkging-practices#s-b= pp-archindepdata The usage (in KB) of /usr/share by these packages is currently: 29232 pool/main/e/emacs20-dl/emacs20-dl_20.7-14.3_alpha.deb 29232 pool/main/e/emacs20-dl/emacs20-dl_20.7-14.3_arm.deb 29232 pool/main/e/emacs20-dl/emacs20-dl_20.7-14.3_hppa.deb 29240 pool/main/e/emacs20-dl/emacs20-dl_20.7-14.3_i386.deb 29232 pool/main/e/emacs20-dl/emacs20-dl_20.7-14.3_ia64.deb 29232 pool/main/e/emacs20-dl/emacs20-dl_20.7-14.3_m68k.deb 29232 pool/main/e/emacs20-dl/emacs20-dl_20.7-14.3_mips.deb 29232 pool/main/e/emacs20-dl/emacs20-dl_20.7-14.3_mipsel.deb 29232 pool/main/e/emacs20-dl/emacs20-dl_20.7-14.3_powerpc.deb 29232 pool/main/e/emacs20-dl/emacs20-dl_20.7-14.3_s390.deb 29232 pool/main/e/emacs20-dl/emacs20-dl_20.7-14.3_sparc.deb Please split this package appropriately.
