Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: texlive-latex-extra
On a virgin ubuntu jaunty(9.04) system installing texlive-latex-extra will
install 385MB. Only 147MB is software while 238MB is documentation.
These figures are from aptitude and include texlive-latex-extra and its
dependencies.
The doc packages installed are listed here
iA doc-base +377kB
iA texlive-base-bin-doc +11.6MB
iA texlive-doc-base +1245kB
iA texlive-humanities-doc +10.8MB
iA texlive-latex-base-doc +38.8MB
iA texlive-latex-extra-doc +110MB
iA texlive-latex-recommended-doc +24.8MB
iA texlive-pictures-doc +7762kB
iA texlive-pstricks-doc +33.4MB
This may not be a problem for desktop systems but for small server
systems especially virtual machines and flash based embedded systems it
is undesirable.
** Affects: texlive-extra (Ubuntu)
