/usr/share/texlive/ is 126M on Ubuntu 18.04 and 153M on Ubuntu 20.04, that's the biggest absolute increase of one package (group) that I could find. That said, I just noticed /usr/share/icons/ going from 0.5M to 64M. It's split between adwaita-icon-theme, humanity-icon-theme, ubuntu-mono, all pulled in transitively by fontforge (via libgdraw6 and libgtk-3-0). I guess we can just manually delete that directory?
