As the official CD program is targeted to distributors, I vote for the 5
cd set. Most of our users won't need Debian for several archs, so this
option saves them one cdrom (source, misc and 1 binary instead of the 4
"non-splittable" cd set).
Also we don't save that much space on the FTP sites with the 4 cd
set. It's 1 cd less, but the 4 remaining will be full almost to capacity,
so their image files will be bigger than the ones for the 5 cd set. The
total sum won't be that smaller.
