[Pkg-kde-extras] Bug#1086644: libexiv2-data: Locale files make up package size

[Paul Menzel]

Package: libexiv2-data
Version: 0.28.3+dfsg-2
Severity: wishlist


Dear Debian folks,


The installed size of the package *inkscape* is 12 MB, and all of it 
seems to be locale files.

     $ LANG= du -ch /usr/share/locale/*/LC_MESSAGES/exiv2.mo | tail -1
     12M	total

Two biggest files:

     $ LANG= du -sh /usr/share/locale/*/LC_MESSAGES/exiv2.mo | sort -h | 
tail -2
     944K	/usr/share/locale/uk/LC_MESSAGES/exiv2.mo
     952K	/usr/share/locale/ru/LC_MESSAGES/exiv2.mo

As *gnome* and other programs seem to depend on *libexiv2-28*, which in 
turn depends on *libexiv2-data*, would it be possible to split those 
locale files into separate packages to reduce space usage a little?


Kind regards,

Paul
