Nice idea.
I tried that with the Debian zsh package. Using the following sed
oneliner helped to remove stuff very likely not needed on Debian:
sed -e 's:Completion/\(AIX\|Darwin\|Solaris\|Cygwin\|Mandriva\|openSUSE\)/\*/\* ::g' -i config.modules
But the gain in free disk space inside /usr/share/zsh was just about
5% as most of the disk space is needed for Completion/Unix.

I don't know, but depending on your installation it may help to just
install the .zwc files and not the source and the .zwc files. As I
have been told on IRC, it should suffice for running zsh to have the
.zwc files instead of their source around.
Then again, in my case the Unix.zwc is bigger than the Unix directory
contents it's generated from, but I suspect a performance penalty if
you just install the source instead of the .zwc files. :-)
ncdu shows nice where the disk space is going to:
