@qwerty12: That is absolutely full of win.
@oldmancoyote1: If they didn't purge docs they wouldn't have room for locales. If they included both they wouldn't have room for very many 3rd party apps or user files. Purging docs is a well established practice in embedded systems: Anyone smart enough to tinker with it can figure out where the documentation is.
<random rambling><wishful thinking>Might be nice to have a modified version of man that reads man pages from an SD card. Also might be nice to have a .tar.gz that can be unpacked to recover the stuff that docpurge kills and an accompanying script:
Code:
#!/bin/sh dpkg --purge docpurge && tar zxvf -C / docs.tar.gz
