I was surprised to see that several of the transitional CUPS packages
are larger than some of the "real" packages.  This is because they
have copies of the changelogs and copyright rather than symlinks to a
common doc directory:

drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2008-06-11 00:07 /usr/share/doc/cups
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root    8 2008-06-11 00:10 /usr/share/doc/cups-bsd -> libcups2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root    8 2008-06-11 00:10 /usr/share/doc/cups-client -> libcups2
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2008-06-11 00:07 /usr/share/doc/cups-common
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2008-06-11 00:07 /usr/share/doc/cupsys
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2008-06-11 00:10 /usr/share/doc/cupsys-bsd
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   10 2007-03-03 22:51 /usr/share/doc/cupsys-client -> libcupsys2
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2008-06-11 00:07 /usr/share/doc/libcups2
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2008-06-11 00:07 /usr/share/doc/libcupsimage2
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2008-06-11 00:10 /usr/share/doc/libcupsys2
