Bug Description
Binary package hint: imagemagick
imagemagick should be split into binary and imagemagick-doc packages - currently the imagemagick packages seem to contain a very large amount of architecture-
This is wasteful of space in LiveCD (as majority of desktop users don't need C and Magick++ API documentation), also mirror space and bandwidth, as we then end up with multiple copies of this data, one for each architecture. Initial estimates suggest that
several gigabytes of Ubuntu/Debian archive space may currently be wasted
because of packages like imagemagick.
The way to fix of imagemagick package:
* We need to have a imagemagick-doc package split out to contain data in /usr/share/
Packaging policy is very clear on this point:

Just look at file listing of imagemagick binary package and you will see lots of documentation in /usr/share/
