"my" largest package was less than 100mb in size, which can be a bit annoying for uploads, but for diskspace during build, several gigabytes (or more) are not uncommon, so I'm having a somewhat hard time imaginening that the above is a relavant argument in most situations. But I might be wrong. :) -- cheers, Holger ⢀⣴⠾⠻⢶⣦⠀ ⣾⠁⢠⠒⠀⣿⡁ holger@(debian|reproducible-builds|layer-acht).org ⢿⡄⠘⠷⠚⠋⠀ OpenPGP: B8BF54137B09D35CF026FE9D 091AB856069AAA1C ⠈⠳⣄ Homophobia is a sin against god.
