At the time woody was released there were yet no widespread netinstall
isos or mini install isos in use. Now there are several smaller images
referenced on the debian webpages that can be considered semi
official ranging from 10 to 300 MB.
I think the only reason that Debian has no official small images is
that noone bothered to change the cd creation scripts to also build a
small image. Given the popularity the next releas will probably have
such images with official label.
But you will allways get the base install. I don't think there is
anyone working on a even smallerimage. But an image for an base
install is about 30MB and fits on a small CD.
