My usual suspect for disk space in /usr/share/doc is kdelibs, with the
doc use flag turned on it installs the whole kde api documentation,
which takes a lot of space ... so I either set -doc for
kde-base/kdelibs, or just set -doc globally and just enable it for
things i now I might need... (note that that won't remove all of the
/usr/share/doc dirs / files, but removes most of the large ones...)
