Thanks Michael, I was about to request something like that too. php-tcpdf is 
indeed 13.1 MB installed, and a 7 MB download. But the size reduction it 
allowed to phpmyadmin seems quite far (the download lost 2 MB between the 
wheezy version (3.3 MB) and 4.1.9-1 (5.4 MB), while the installed size 
*increased* 6 MB). In a sense, the download size has doubled since wheezy.

I love modularity, but maybe php-tcpdf should itself be modularized. 9 MB of 
the 13.1 MB are in /usr/share/php/tcpdf/fonts/ and 1.7 MB is in 
/usr/share/doc/php-tcpdf/examples/. Keeping only the necessary fonts and 
creating a couple more binary packages for php-tcpdf, it should be possible to 
slim php-tcpdf by 4/5. A more focused dependency like that would be good for 
mem even if it remains a hard dependency.
