Still in a limbo AFAIK. That said, I see no problems in > packaging relevant data (but what about size ?). 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 :) -- . ''`.
