Openoffice currently ships a -g1 -dbg package. If it wasn't -g1, the deb
would be around 400mb.
Kdebase:
33mb -dbg package
28mb source
11-12 mb arch all debs.
20 mb arch debs.
kdelibs
26 mb -dbg package
18 mb source package
39 (!) mb -doc package
10 mb other arch all debs
10 mb arch debs.
For these two deb packages - the debug packages is around 1.5 the size
of the arch package. A couple of other kde packages seems to show the
same behaviour.
