- Packages in main need to be installable and not cause their (indirect) reverse build-depends to FTBFS in the absence of data.debian.org. If the data is necessary for the package to work and there is a small dataset (like 5 to 10 MB) that can be reasonably substituted for the complete data package, the smaller dataset should be included in main and the package then may depend on "foo-data | foo-data-small".
Hmm. Would anything happen to the current fgfs-base package (200 MB compressed)? This *is* intended to be the minimum data necessary to start FlightGear. The "full" data set, for comparison, supposedly fits on 3 DVDs. (Obviously, so far I have not felt the urge to package that, the users can get that themselves if they want it...)
