Bug Description

Binary package hint: testdisk

testdisk package includes html documentation in several languages and this increases size of testdisk binary package in several times (documentation takes 2.6 Mb size, while testdisk+photorec binaries - only 0.6 Mb).

debian-policy says, that documentation and other big architecture-independent files should be in separate package So, I'm suggesting to package multilanguage html documentation into separate architecture-independent package testdisk-doc and make testdisk package to recommend (or suggest) testdisk-doc.

All needed for use testdisk documentation should be included into testdisk and photorec man pages, which are almost empty now :(

Documentation will be shipped in a separate tar.bz2 in next version (6.10) of TestDisk & PhotoRec, so it will be in the TODO of the package maintainers ;-)
6.10-WIP snapshot can downloaded from http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk_Download

Feel free to send me <email address hidden> updated man pages, I will be glade to include it upstream.
