This morning I was browsing through Synaptic Package Manager to do some manual cleaning up of unused package files, I got bored watching Jakarta Composite Index went to unwanted direction although it finally closed in safe point :p
So I started with sorting the biggest space eater first and here's what I found. The biggest space eater in my laptop is ubuntu-docs which consumes 259 MB, while its download package is a mere 474 kB.
What is ubuntu-docs? According to its description :

I think it's a lot of small files !
Its got the Help > Contents of all apps I believe.
Ubuntu-docs contains the files for all the system documentation, the official documentation of Ubuntu. Written by Ubuntu-Docs community, all volunteers. it includes all the files that make up the documentation, and the needed libraries etc.
Why can't these documentation files be stored on the Internet instead? That's a lot of help files I'll never read.
