Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnucap
gnucap should be split into binary and gnucap-doc packages - currently the gnucap package contains a very large amount of architecture-
This is wasteful of space in LiveCD (as majority of desktop users don't need gnucap commands reference in 2 formats - html and pdf, gnucap is often simply used by another packages, like gcompris), 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 gnucap.
The way to fix of gnucap package:
* We need to have a gnucap-doc package split out to contain /usr/share/
Packaging policy is very clear on this point:

Btw, examples are duplicated in gnucap package, look at this debian bugreport - http://
Look at file listing of gnucap binary package and you will see lots of documentation in /usr/share/
