Hello, we faced a similar problem in VTK, the vtk-doc package became
huge at some point because a newer doxygen generates images with
antialiased fonts.  Our first workaround has been to not use
antialiased fonts by wrapping /usr/bin/dot:
  http://git.debian.org/?p=collab-maint/vtk.git;a=commitdiff;h=45a29f66
Later won e generated images into SVG format, this is supported since
doxygen 1.6.2; images are rendered much better and IIRC size is even
smaller than with PNG non-antialiased fonts.
  http://git.debian.org/?p=collab-maint/vtk.git;a=commitdiff;h=3d9afe06
I suggest to generate docs in SVG and see if salome-doc's size becomes
reasonable.
In KERNEL_SRC_5.1.3/doc/salome/gui/doxyfile.in:
  -DOT_IMAGE_FORMAT       = jpg
  +DOT_IMAGE_FORMAT       = svg

I am busy with other stuff and won't try that now.
