Isn't that a correct instance of "a few hundreds of megabytes"? :) > > Some games or > > debug packages require more space than that.

Someone else did on IRC, but apparently he computed the aggregate size per source package, which isn't the same thing. openjdk-6-dbg uses 170 MB according to the Packages file. libqt4-webkit-dbg uses from 134 MB to 142 MB per arch. libwebkit-1.0-2-dbg also ranges from 122 MB to 128 MB per arch. So, yes, the kernel debuginfo would be bigger, but: 1/ we are not talking about adding it for every arch 2/ it might be of interest to quite a lot of people to have that data. > And for the data packages there is something planned. Sure. However, it doesn't cost much to use normal .debs now, and switch to ddebs or a separate archive later, when it's ready. -- | Lucas Nussbaum | lu...@lucas-nussbaum.net http://www.lucas-nussbaum.net/ | | jabber: lu...@nussbaum.fr GPG: 1024D/023B3F4F | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
