Just for note, the downloading script can be used in non interactive
way so a debconf based postinst step to download at installation
(or any later) time the required files could be considered. I'm too
lazy to provide that myself, but a patch for that could be considered for
the gmt data package could be useful.
That said, the whole arch-indep
data set is probably much less a concerning for storage of some years
ago, but that could be confirmed only by ftp-masters and mirror
maintainers. There were some discussions in the past about a data
providing infrastructure, but I missed the whole thread conclusion
(if any).
