Oh dear, that's too bad... But yes, it is a gigantic package. If I make a version without the -doc binary, that takes it from 859 to 235 MiB including .orig.tar.gz. (The -doc binary has a huge amount of very large generated documentation...) Does that reduce it's size enough to consider re-uploading? I can appreciate the burden of checking a package of this size. But It's taken a good-sized team a few months of concerted effort to get this far (development actually started about two and a half years ago), and we'd like to be able to use the BTS to track the various issues with the package, among other concerns.

But if the above isn't sufficient reduction in the package size, how will we know when this happens?
