As mentioned in the report, I had the same issue with postgres, and the 
fix was implented within a day, so I'm guessing it was rather trivial.

Postgresql: Bug#866729

You are absolutly right that this is a result from a user desision, but 
mind you, when doing containers, it is often preferred to have them nice 
and lean, dropping man pages and documentation (while keeping the 
licenses of course) is very commonly done to minimize the container.

From the log below, which is is what brought me to this package name, I 
can't seem to figure out what other package would be the root cause? Do 
you have any suggestions where it should go?
