Attached is a proposed split for coreutils.
Original coreutils (14.2MB) is now split to:
coreutils (5.5MB), coreutils-single (1.2MB)
and an optional coreutils-common (8.7MB)
coreutils and coreutils-single are mutually exclusive.
coreutils requires coreutils-common, though it
can be forcefully removed if desired, and only
docs and translations are degraded.
I.E. there are 4 possible setups now:
coreutils-single (1.2MB)
coreutils-single + coreutils-common (9.9MB)
coreutils (5.5MB)
coreutils + coreutils-common (14.2MB)
cheers,
Pádraig.

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] split package and provide coreutils-single
Notes about coreutils:
- Drops from 14.2MB to 5.5MB.
- Still requires coreutils-common, though being separated
allows for easier removal if required.
- Explicitly conflicts with coreutils-single to avoid errant installs
Notes about coreutils-single:
- Contains a single multicall binary which is 1.2MB
- Have to force install over any existing coreutils package
so best used for initial install without existing coreutils package
- Doesn't require (but suggests) coreutils-common
so install that manually for docs, translations, and colors etc.
Notes about coreutils-common:
- 8.7MB
- Having this split out gives an easy way to remove all
docs and translations.
