The mozart-doc packages seem to contain a very large amount of architecture-independent data in architecture-dependent packages, specifically data installed under /usr/share. This is wasteful of 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 Debian archive space may currently be wasted because of packages like this. The way to fix this depends on the layout of your package: * Some packages need to have a -common or -doc package split out to contain this common data, and the existing packages that need this data should then be altered to depend on the new -common or -doc package. * This package may already be such a -common or -doc package, in which case it probably should already be marked as Architecture: all in your debian/control file rather than Architecture: any . * Maybe the files under /usr/share do not belong there - several packages seem to contain data in /usr/share that is definitely architecture-dependent. In this case, please move the files into the right place. Policy is quite clear on this point: http://www.debian.org/doc/developers-reference/ch-best-pkging-practices#s-bpp-archindepdata The usage of these packages is currently: debsize pkgsize /usr/share % filename 3606658 19564 19564 100 pool/main/m/mozart/mozart-doc_1.2.5.20030212-1_hppa.deb 3589150 19564 19564 100 pool/main/m/mozart/mozart-doc_1.2.5.20030212-2_sparc.deb 3589176 19568 19568 100 pool/main/m/mozart/mozart-doc_1.2.5.20030212-3_i386.deb 3588732 19568 19568 100 pool/main/m/mozart/mozart-doc_1.2.5.20030212-3_m68k.deb 3587882 19568 19568 100 pool/main/m/mozart/mozart-doc_1.2.5.20030212-3_mips.deb 3588802 19568 19568 100 pool/main/m/mozart/mozart-doc_1.2.5.20030212-3_mipsel.deb 3586746 19568 19568 100 pool/main/m/mozart/mozart-doc_1.2.5.20030212-3_powerpc.deb Please split this package appropriately. If you believe your package is already split reasonably, then sorry for bothering you. If you wish to discuss this further, please feel free to reply to this bug.
