And a way of reproducing it (as root):
CHROOT=chroot-sid
mkdir $CHROOT
debootstrap sid $CHROOT
mkdir -p $CHROOT/etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg.d
cat > $CHROOT/etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg.d/excludes <<EOF
# Drop all documentation ...
path-exclude=/usr/share/doc/*
path-include=/usr/share/doc/*/copyright
EOF
chroot $CHROOT dpkg-query -f '${binary:Package}\n' -W | xargs chroot
$CHROOT apt-get install --reinstall
chroot $CHROOT find /usr/share/doc -not '(' -name copyright -o -name

sudo chroot $CHROOT find /usr/share/doc/ -not '(' -name copyright -o
