Oh no! You'll have two small data files for each package! That's so |
| 26 |
terrible! You should definitely look through /usr/share, there are lots |
| 27 |
of other files you dont absolutely need too. Maybe you should start |
| 28 |
filing bugs against every package that install these tiny files you |
| 29 |
don't need! All those wasted inodes! |
