Of course, whether you need the doumentation for a package is very
subjective - at least the maintainers have taken the trouble to package
it as a separate package.
P.S. Don't kick a gift horse in the mouth.

Documentation is not *required*, it is suggested
or recommended. Put
the following two lines in your /etc/apt/apt.conf
APT::Install-Suggests "0";
APT::Install-Recommends "0";
I shouldn't have to do that -- the people who package and contribute to
Debian need to pay more attention to space efficiency.
