Since you brought it up, this is an important point for a "minimal
install".  I definitely want the option of not installing the docs
directory or the man pages for all selected packages.  If I'm building a
firewall on old hardware, for example, I'll have those things available
elsewhere (or I can add them later if need be), and I'd much rather have
the disk space for logging.
