Package: lynx
Version: 2.8.6-2
Severity: normal
Please separate runtime from the documentation by moving doc/ files to
separate package lynx-doc. The currently files take unnecessary space
on small systems where manual page will suffice:
$ for i in $(dpkg -L lynx | grep doc/); do [ -f $i ] && ls -l $i ; done | awk
'{sum += $5}END{print sum}'
930962
Current /doc/ files are:

/usr/share/doc/lynx
