Not the same message, but in the thread:

>     What about installing only HTML?

>     I find that HTML (and Info, and man) is more convenient to read on-line
>     than PDFs.  We rarely include PDF documentation in packages.

>     Of course, avoiding PDF/PS/DVI allows us to remove the dependency
>     on TeX Live.  Last, from discussions I heard at the Reproducible
>     Build Summit, I think DVIs and maybe PS/PDFs are not
>     bit-reproducible out-of-the-box.
