Bug Description

python-nevow and python-twisted-web packages contains documentation, howtos and examples, because of this they are too big and should be split into python-nevow + python-nevow-doc and python-twisted-web + python-twisted-web-doc

look at big subfolders of
/usr/share/doc/python-nevow/ (takes about 0.44 Mb)
/usr/share/doc/python-twisted-web/ (takes about 0.42 Mb, while python code takes about 0.6 Mb)

There are hundreds of files, which aren't needed for running python applications, which require python-nevow or python-twisted-web.

Full filelist of these packages can be found at
http://packages.debian.org/sid/all/python-twisted-web/filelist
http://packages.debian.org/sid/all/python-nevow/filelist

I didn't looked for the same problem in other python libraries, if someone find big documentation or examples in other python libraries - please, assign this bug against these packages too.

I am not convinced that 500 KB of documentation is large enough to warrant an additional package... How do you define "too big" ?
