Do you mean archive-size, or installed-size? If the latter, I see no problems:
the only overhead would be the Debian-specific files (copyright,
changelog.Debian, and so on). If you meant archive-size, those are usually
arch:all packages, and I'm not aware of any "size policy" for data packages.
Just think at those *-data for games :)
