Re: Packaging _still_ wasteful for many large packages

[Steve McIntyre <steve@einval.com>]

OK. Further tries:

package > 1MB

AND

/usr/share contents > 2MB   OR  % of package in /usr/share > 80%

gives me a list of of 2338 individual .deb files in sid, or 242
packages - see http://people.debian.org/~93sam/waste3.txt

Does that sound reasonable for a mass bug-filing, or should I make the
checks less strict?

4MB or 85% give me 1368 .deb files, or 144
packages. (http://people.debian.org/~93sam/waste4.txt)

There's a few other really obvious bugs that have shown up from this
checking, and I'll be posting those separately tomorrow when I've had
some sleep.
