Indeed you can remove packages in this way, but it is the fact that
-docs is manually installed using apt-get through the hook instead of in
depends/recommends.txt like everything else that causes the problem. It
can't be done in that way because of the Conflicts to ubuntu-docs.

That's clearly the best solution, but I'm not sure it can be done for
14.04.x. Perhaps I'll see what a livecd-rootfs patch looks like for
this.
