Package: libexiv2-data
Version: 0.28.3+dfsg-2
Severity: wishlist


Dear Debian folks,


The installed size of the package *inkscape* is 12 MB, and all of it seems to be locale files.

    $ LANG= du -ch /usr/share/locale/*/LC_MESSAGES/exiv2.mo | tail -1
    12M total

Two biggest files:

$ LANG= du -sh /usr/share/locale/*/LC_MESSAGES/exiv2.mo | sort -h | tail -2
    944K        /usr/share/locale/uk/LC_MESSAGES/exiv2.mo
    952K        /usr/share/locale/ru/LC_MESSAGES/exiv2.mo

As *gnome* and other programs seem to depend on *libexiv2-28*, which in turn depends on *libexiv2-data*, would it be possible to split those locale files into separate packages to reduce space usage a little?


Kind regards,

Paul
