Package: texpower
Version: 2011.20120509-1

texpower, in testing, has an installed size of 387 KB. If you look at
command lines below, to upgrade to the new texpower is going to take
over 450 MB. I was considering making this wishlist, but this 1000x
fold increase in effective size takes a program that took negligible
space on my HD and makes it one that's hard to justify installing. (A
lot can be said about hard drive spaces and poor choices for root
partition sizes, but a half a gigabyte is still a big deal in some
cases.) It has a major effect on the usability of the program for some
people.

# I did this separately in an attempt to figure what was causing the
increase in size

Correct. I don't see, what else could be done here. Hence I close the issue.
