As long as there are pic files for gdk_directfb, mklibs goes into an
infinite loop, not able to add all the symbols. Other packages like
pango and directb had relocation errors when using the reduced
libraries. Anyhow, the space gain by reducing the libraries was not
too big. The gratest loss of weight had gtk-directfb with ~400 kB.

We still need to have an eye on the space that is occupied on the
ramdisk. The udebs do not contain any unneeded modules or
documentation and in some cases they use other compile options then
their deb counterparts. A good example is directfb:
Library from .deb:
coyote:~# ldd /usr/lib/libdirectfb-0.9.so.15
libSDL-1.2.so.0 => /usr/lib/libSDL-1.2.so.0 (0x4004f000)
libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x400ba000)
libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x400db000)
libXext.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6 (0x40195000)
libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x401a2000)
libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x401a5000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x401f4000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x80000000)
Library from .udeb
coyote:~# ldd /home/sl/debian-installer/usr/lib/libdirectfb-0.9.so.15.0.0
libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x4004b000)
libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x4004f000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x4009e000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x80000000)
If we used the .deb we needed to pull in sdl and xlibs as well, what
is certainly not what we want.
With other libraries there are similar cases.
