interesting, I've never heard of dh_movefiles before.
what does "more diskspace" mean, however? kilobytes? terabytes? 100% of
the diskspace used by the files installed? 200%?
"my" largest package was less than 100mb in size, which can be a bit annoying
for
uploads, but for diskspace during build, several gigabytes (or more) are
not uncommon, so I'm having a somewhat hard time imaginening that the
above is a relavant argument in most situations.
But I might be wrong. :)
