Hm, 90% of 7.8M is a considerable amount of space. Yes, I think this
qualifies as "f significant space savings can be achieved by
recompressing the tar archive or by removing genuinely useless cruft
from the upstream archive." We should be aware of the next sentence in
dev-ref, though: "Use your own discretion here, but be prepared to
defend your decision if you repackage source that could have been
pristine."
