Yes, that looks reasonable.
Additionally, one generic cause of bloat is:
debian/changelog: * Enable UNICODE. (closes: #985689)
debian/config/config:CONFIG_UNICODE=y
That's 74 kB uncompressed, and there doesn't seem to be any
justification for not making it modular. It's not urgent since
Bens change handles the immediate problem, but worth changing
in unstable.
