I found:

python3-libs ships multiple copies of its pyc files, corresponding to
different optimization levels. I don't know what a good packaging
solution to that would look like, but if we only shipped the -O2 kind
(which seems appropriate for minimization, as they're smallest) we
could drop about 13M out of 32M, which seems pretty great.

Note that it would make more sense to drop the optimized ones, as most of our
packages invoke Python without -O or -OO.

It would certainly need more planning and figuring out what shall happen if the
optimized bytecode is not there and users actually run Python with -O or -OO,
but we can discusses that if you want.

I wonder, does running python programs with -O2 actually yield
noticeably better performance?
If that's the case, maybe we could discuss setting -O2 as a
distro-wide default setting?

It drops asserts and docstrings. Some code require both to function, hence defaulting to this would be dangerous.
