That would be a problem.  I suppose you could comment and uncomment
the line in apt.conf as appropriate.  It'd be a pain, but it would
work.

On the box I was working on when I thought of that, I really couldn't
care less if I have any docs, compilers, or much of anything else that
makes the system usable.  That's not its purpose.  That made it an
easy decision...

Unfortunately, when I thought of that, I had just finished upgrading
everything (except two packages) to Red Hat 7.3, so it'll take a while
to get rid of the excess.
