By a package named debian-cd:

You may estimate from the .jigdo files which describe them.

  gunzip <debian-11.3.0-amd64-DLBD-1.jigdo | less

The total size of the ISO image and thus roughly of the included packages
is given by line
  # Image size 48245475328 bytes
I.e. 45 GiB. The number of packages listed is a bit higher than 29,000.

In debian-11.3.0-amd64-DLBD-2.jigdo i see
  # Image size 35798159360 bytes
33 GiB and nearly 30,000 packages.
I guess that few packages are excluded from the installation media.


Have a nice day :)
