gimp-help-common is not set as automatically installed cause it's part
of the default install

$ sudo apt-get remove gimp-help-en gimp-help-common

After this operation, 27.6MB disk space will be freed.
Do you want to continue [Y/n]?

But the CDimage is compressed so as estimate I take the deb sizes it's
14,559.4 kB and 856.7 kB respectivly; install size is 18352 kB and
8476 kB respectivly. So the saving of removing documentation is
approximatly somewhere between 15 - 17.6 MB depending on the final CD
compression.
