Anyway, doubling the size of the archive is less of an issue than it

It would be nice if the standard iso images that Debian makes
available could be made to exclude -dbg packages as a trade-off. It
actually felt painful someday when doing jigdo on the archive, only to
see loads of -dbg packages getting downloaded, and knowing I wasn't
ever gonna use 'em.
