Package: aptitude
Version: 0.4.11.11-1+b2
Severity: wishlist
Tags: l10n
--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
aptitude should not install non-english manual pages or non-englisch
/usr/share/locale message catalogues, for which there is no corresponding
language entry in /etc/default/locale
Think of notebooks where diskspace is always tight.
Advantages:
-----------
(a) smaller footprint on storage
(b) smaller directories can be faster searched
E.g. on my currently used notebook:
-----------------------------------
~ $ grep ^L /etc/default/locale
LANG=de_DE.utf8
LANGUAGE="de_DE"
LC_MESSAGES="de_DE.utf8"
LC_ALL="de_DE.utf8"
~ $ $SHELL --version
GNU bash, version 3.2.39(1)-release (i486-pc-linux-gnu)
Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
~ $ set +H; shopt -s extglob
~ $ du -cms /usr/share/{locale/!(de*|en*),man/!(man*|de*|en*)} | tail -n 1
103 total
~ $ du -cms /usr/share/{locale/@(de*|en*),man/@(man*|de*|en*)} | tail -n 1
35 total
--> Would reduce disk usage from 138 MB to 35 MB :)

What Jens said; aptitude isn't the right place to fix this one.
