I don't see how your question is is germane to the topic I was trying to
raise. Policy already says:

   Any additional documentation that comes with the package can be installed
   at the discretion of the package maintainer. Text documentation should be
   installed in a directory /usr/share/doc/<package>', where <package> is
   the name of the package, and compressed with gzip -9' unless it is small.

I just want to know the definition of "small".
