Comment (by raimue@…):

 Replying to [comment:4 rjvbertin@…]:
 > I still think that's taking things too far, being too rigid. The result
 is the same no matter at what point you purge the unwanted files, and 2
 users with the same configuration file will get the same result.

 The archive would still be reproducible and reusable for everyone. I would
 not want to waste cycles to build from source just to get fewer files.
 That would even be counter-intuitive if I had to to install additional
 build dependencies.

 > Either way, wouldn't you get rev-upgrade errors about missing files if
 you remove things in the post-activate?

 rev-upgrade does not check for missing translation files, it only checks
 for shared libraries. I did not suggest to remove files in post-activate,
 but not to move them into place during activate. These files would then
 also not be listed in the registry.
