The isar-exclude-docs package provides mechanisms to exclude
documentation from the image. Technically this is implemented
by a dpkg filter, as well as a postinst script to strip the
documentation installed prior to installing the isar-exclude-docs
package.

This has the major drawback of first installing the documentation
(as isar-exclude-docs is installed along with ROOTFS_PACKAGES) and
then removing it again - which is even an emulated task and by that
super slow on a larger rootfs. Further, it does not handle cases
where docs are generated in a postinst script.

We now change this to configure apt prior to installing packages.
This results in less being installed into the rootfs. After that,
a final cleanup path from outside the chroot strip the remaining bits.

Best regards,
Felix Moessbauer
