According to my build directory, the entire dictd package, source
+ binaries, totals 752 kb. The combined installed size of the two
.debs is about 453 kb. I have just checked the archives, and this
.debs on master are the same size as those in my build directory.
The total installed size of the dictionaries I have packaged is
31026 kb. (ls -l /usr/share/dictd). These are all compressed, but
are still large because of the volume of data included in them.
What files do you find taking up 8 mb?
