Feature: Documentation/Locale Filter

[estahn]

Would it be possible to add these documentation/locale filters by default:

ADD dpkg_nodoc /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg.d/01_nodoc
ADD dpkg_nolocales /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg.d/01_nolocales

path-exclude /usr/share/doc/*
# we need to keep copyright files for legal reasons
path-include /usr/share/doc/*/copyright
path-exclude /usr/share/man/*
path-exclude /usr/share/groff/*
path-exclude /usr/share/info/*
# lintian stuff is small, but really unnecessary
path-exclude /usr/share/lintian/*
path-exclude /usr/share/linda/*

path-exclude /usr/share/locale/*
path-include /usr/share/locale/en*

Sounds like a good idea.

Can someone explain why is this good and what do we gain from it and how does it exactly work?

The doc folder is 6.3 MB and the man folder is 6.8 MB. We can rm them, but what does the above command exactly do?
