Other packages have moved to svg with success. Examples include activiz.net-doc and dcmtk-doc. In addition I would like to ask you whether using the recently introduced dh_doxygen would be feasible. At the moment it takes care of removing the .map and .md5 files used to speed up incremental doxygen runs. There are ideas about taking care of the jquery embedding in dh_doxygen, but this is yet unimplemented. Here is a quick sql query on the dedup.d.n backing db: SELECT count(id), sum(size), sum(length(filename)) FROM content WHERE package = 'ns3-doc'; 83598|1625422055|7433644 SELECT count(id), sum(size), sum(length(filename)) FROM content WHERE package = 'ns3-doc' AND (filename LIKE '%.md5' OR filename LIKE '%.map'); 46376|48101561|4358114 Removing those files would halve the number of files shipped in ns3-doc and therefore significantly reduce the inode usage when installing it. It would also result in removal of 45MB uncompressed data (not considering filenames and other metadata) and 4MB of filenames. I guess that the binary package would shrink by about 30MB, which is about 3%, but more than nothing.
