-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6570 Apr 19 1997 /usr/doc/examples/magicfilter/filters/filters.tar.gz
Untared and compressed individually:
$ du
100 .
Installed-Size: 50
So the resulting magicfilter package will three times as large as the
current.
In absolute numbers: we could tolerate the additional 100 KB, but this
is no strong opinion.
