I think it still is necessary. This package could be organised a lot better. mailman version 1:2.1.9-8 has an extracted size of approximately 40 MB. Most of it is installed in the following places (sizes are 'size on disk'): 652K /var/lib/mailman/tests 2.2M /usr/share/doc/mailman/html 3.7M /usr/lib/mailman 5.9M /usr/share/mailman 5.9M /usr/share/doc/mailman/examples 22M /var/lib/mailman/messages /usr/share/mailman and /var/lib/mailman/messages is basically internationalization data. I think all this should get it's own package (preferably split into separate packages for each locale), and have only English built in into mailman (or mailman should depend on mailman-lang, which is provided by each i18n package). Besides that, I think /var/lib/mailman/tests, even though it's small, can have it's own package. And of course, /usr/share/doc/mailman/html and mailman's manpages should get their own mailman-doc package. By the way, /usr/share/mailman and /usr/share/doc/mailman/examples are practically the same, but there are some differences. Why is this?
