Then we should replace dpkg with ash - oh, it is not even the
same category of program. So you must have been joking, to
compare apples and eggs, right? there is no replacement for dpkg,
so stick to it. if dpkg is bloated, unbloat it. that is the
message. not 'if some given binary is bigger then the ash binary,
replace it with ash.' I would have thought that much was clear.
