Openoffice currently ships a -g1 -dbg package. If it wasn't -g1, the deb would be around 400mb. Kdebase: 33mb -dbg package 28mb source 11-12 mb arch all debs. 20 mb arch debs. kdelibs 26 mb -dbg package 18 mb source package 39 (!) mb -doc package 10 mb other arch all debs 10 mb arch debs. For these two deb packages - the debug packages is around 1.5 the size of the arch package. A couple of other kde packages seems to show the same behaviour. /Sune -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
