Hi,
I just installed icedtea-1.13.12, and for no reason, icedtea-1.13.12-doc
get installed, too,
IMHO, only icedtea-1.13.12 should be installed. What is going wrong here?

I think you are confusing installation with downloading. if (I have not
checked it) icedtea is just one package with multiple outputs, all
outputs will be downloaded but only the selected one will be installed.
The same will happen for git afaik, all outputs will be downloaded but
only selected ones end up in your profile.

Maybe :-) But I'd expect that only packages to be installed are
downloaded. Otherwise this would be a wast of time and bandwidth.

But why? I do not see any reason for downloading packages which their
are neither requested nor installed. If all outputs are downloaded, what
should be the sense of having different outputs?

There's a separation between packages and outputs. gnunet-svn is a
different package than gnunet, git-sendemail and git-svn are contained
in outputs of git (named 'sendemail' and 'svn'). They are not separated
like for example Debian does it with their -dev version packages.
For the exact reasons someone else has to explain. I guess it's
something about grafting, reproducibility, source provision etc.

This is what the docs say about this;
Sometimes it is more appropriate to separate the various types of files
produced from a single source package into separate outputs. For
instance, the GLib C library (used by GTK+ and related packages)
installs more than 20 MiB of reference documentation as HTML pages.
To *save space* for users who do not need it, the documentation goes
to a
separate output, called @code{doc}. [...]
Some packages install programs with different ``dependency footprints''.
[…] This allows users
who do not need the GUIs to *save space*. […]
For me this sound more like a bug. But maybe someone can explain this.

Whether it's a bug or not, it sounds like the situation could be
improved. Can you file a bug report?
