I tried recompressing all packages in wheezy with xz. The total size for all amd64+all packages was reduced from 42GB to 33 GB (about 20%). A per-package listing is available from [1] [1] <http://people.debian.org/~ansgar/wheezy-20120706-with-xz.txt.gz> Would this be enough to make GNOME and/or KDE installable from a single CD image?
