Hi Radek,
I was afraid to hear something like that. There's some generic
"exclude this tree" mechanism in dpkg (--path-exclude=glob-pattern),
but in or around Debian, that's only used for /usr/share/doc/*,
afaict. If you start excluding more paths (or just rm -rf them after
creating a system image), you'll run into more troubles. I guess in
this case, update-alternatives would need to be taught about the
exclude paths as well.
For a more concrete solution, I think this RPi image should really
ship the /usr/share/man/man* directories, but without contents. That
way, you can install new packages without that kind of breakage, but
still have a "minimal" system. Please take that up with the RPi
maintainers.
Christoph
