There are two little flaws in your reasoning.
1. Compression ratios, even for source code, don’t reach 99%.
2. There are other very little things in source packages, such as,
I don’t know… data?
http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/5.0.4/source/iso-dvd/
The overall size of the full compressed sources is 17 GB. Tell me this
has only a minor impact.
