Hi Hans-Joachim,

how did you get the number?  I extracted the (d)igikam,
digikamimage(p)lugins and (k)ipi-plugins debs and get ~ 25 MB.

$ du -sk */usr/share/doc
10880   d/usr/share/doc
2280    k/usr/share/doc
12236   p/usr/share/doc

all is  ~ 42 MB

$ du -sk *
16256   d
9252    k
15868   p

I'm not sure if digikam* and digikam*-doc (from a non-english
installation viewpoint).  I'll check next release, it will include
new doc translations.  when code/doc ratio drops below 1/3 it
definitely time for a split.

What's needed to solve the problem is infrastructure in debian
pkg mgmt that automaticly installs/picks only those language(s)
one is interested in without splitting in one additional pkg
per language.  Otherwise debian suddenly has more than 100,000
pkgs.
