The image 
  http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/daily-builds/daily/current/i386/iso-cd/debian-testing-i386-businesscard.iso
is used for upstream regression tests of Debian ISO image and Jigdo
production. The image gets unpacked, repacked and Jigdo re-composed.
The smaller it is, the better for that purpose.

My test Squeeze installation came from businesscard for amd64, btw.

The size problems discussed recently rather make DVD 1 a candidate
for a long-time survivor.

In that light it seems unwise to drop the smallest image version of all.


Have a nice day :)
