(Keep in mind that you're talking about 97284 bytes on i386 here, plus 15199 bytes of control files and an entry in dpkg's "status" file. Manpages and documentation can be excluded with a dpkg filter.) Thanks for explaining. [...] > About the removal path: AFAICS that is the job of update- > alternatives. Unfortunately the current implementation of update-alternatives is not robust enough for that: when switching between alternatives, there is a window of time when the symlink points nowhere. It is also not clear that making /bin/sh point to another symlink in /etc is worth the indirection. But I could be convinced about that, especially if update-alternatives is polished into good enough shape to support it.
