Not sure that is an official site ... The question came from a couple of posts where debian is showing ~17000 packages and Fedora a couple of thousand less. They were bemoaning the size of the install media. The difference between distros is most likely little used packages, and the fact that rpm's for instance split headers and sometimes aux functions into separate packages, approximately doubling the package count. I presume debian do the same.
