We can use isar-exclude-docs or the use the same implementation. I 
didn't use it as it only removes around 3M  from /usr/share/docs in my 
tests from against an unmodified target.

The second part is that isar-exclude-docs is executed during the pacakge 
installation.
Which makes it impossible to remove other files(e.g. /usr/bin/apt-*).
