I think you mean via libuuid-perl?
Looking at adding libuuid-perl to satisfy dep
libuuid-perl Dep: ( OR perl-base )
libuuid-perl Dep: perl
libuuid-perl Dep: libc6
libuuid-perl Dep: libuuid1
linux-base Dep: ( OR debconf cdebconf cdebconf-udeb debconf )
linux-base Dep: ( OR util-linux udev )
linux-image-2.6.32-5-486 Dep: ( OR initramfs-tools dracut initramfs-tools )
linux-image-2.6.32-5-486 Dep: ( OR debconf cdebconf cdebconf-udeb debconf )
Looking at adding libapt-pkg-perl to satisfy dep
libapt-pkg-perl Dep: perl-base
libapt-pkg-perl Dep: ( OR perl-base )
libapt-pkg-perl Dep: ( OR apt )
libapt-pkg-perl Dep: libc6
libapt-pkg-perl Dep: libgcc1
libapt-pkg-perl Dep: libstdc++6
I don't think libuuid-perl really needs perl and I have filed #588427 to
that effect.

Ah, I didn't think to check transitive dependencies.
I was wondering why linux-headers were on the CD in the first place and
find that tools/generate_di+k_list says:
/* Note that we do not have to include every optimised kernel flavor for
* i386, but this does control what kernels are available on the
netinst CD.
* Kernel headers are included as third party modules are commonly
* used on this architecture.
*/
so it's only for amd64 and i386 but it is on all ISO images. Could we
consider making this only for certain image types? It would save 10M.

There was a popcon update in debian-cd SVN recently -- does that effect
this sort of thing?
All I see in my logs are
+ Trying to add doc-linux-text...
@dep before checklist = doc-linux-text
@dep after checklist = doc-linux-text
$output_size = 49686668, $size = 7814144
Also my mirror was only updated at the end of June so I guess something
there may have changed?
It 7.5M but I guess maybe this was selected from popcon to fill the
slack left by things which were bumped?

Thanks for the pointer.
