Hi all, In the last couple of days, the following came up multiple times. Splitting binary packages adds to the total amount of packages in Debian. I have heard that (some) people are very careful before they decide to do that. What is the argument? I can come up with one, but I wonder if there is more to it. The one argument that I can come up with is that adding a package also adds about 1kB to the data that everybody in Debian has to download (on every update), also the people that are not interested in the package (which may be many).
