Package: gnulib Version: 20130805+stable-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
It looks[1] like gnulib is wasting at least 3.8 MB of installed space due to duplicated documentation files. [1]: <http://dedup.debian.net/compare/gnulib/gnulib> In particular, you have dupes 3.8 MB ./usr/share/doc/gnulib/gnulib.html ./usr/share/gnulib/doc/gnulib.html both of which contain exactly the same 3.8 MB of data, and you could save space by replacing the /usr/share/doc copy with a symlink. You also have a less-clear-cut case, 1.8 MB ./usr/share/gnulib/doc/gnulib.info 258.3 KB ./usr/share/info/gnulib.info.gz where one of the files is a compressed version of the other. You could use a symlink here too, but it would only save 258.3 KB of space ... Another option would be to remove the built copies of the documentation from /usr/share/gnulib entirely, which would save about 5.6 MB. -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.9-1-686-pae (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages gnulib depends on: ii autoconf 2.69-1.1 ii automake 1:1.14-1 ii autopoint 0.18.3.1-1 ii bison 2:2.7.1.dfsg-1 ii build-essential 11.6 ii gettext 0.18.3.1-1 ii gperf 3.0.4-1 ii libtool 2.4.2-1.3 ii m4 1.4.16-5 ii texinfo 5.2.0.dfsg.1-1 gnulib recommends no packages.
