Bug Description
Binary package hint: gconf2
On my system there are 65 MB of files in /var/lib/
What's more, these files appear to contain schema descriptions in every possible language, when I only use English. Not only that but all this data appears to be compiled from files in /usr/share/
Possible fixes include:
1) Using hard tab characters instead of 8 spaces for indentation
2) Eliminating the indentation completely
3) Eliminating the extra languges
4) Keeping /var/lib/
5) Reading the files in /usr/share/
6) Removing the files in /usr/share/
Thanks for the bug report. This particular bug has already been reported, but feel free to report any other bugs you find.
