I don't think the size is the problem. Debian's philosophy is to break
even the program chunks into doc, libs, executables in order for user
to be able to put together "tools that he needs".
As I'm not familiar with Debian packaging - and if there are already
debs - I invite any DD to adopt this utility and upload it into
experimental.
