severity 301138 serious
thanks
Actually, reviewing this bug severity and policy I believe the current
priority for the packages stated in the bug report is plain wrong as
current policy says:
" standard
These packages provide a reasonably small but not too limited
character-mode system. This is what will be installed by
default if the user doesn't select anything else. It doesn't
include many large applications.
"
I do believe most of the following qualify as "large applications"?
Package Size
------------------------+--------
gdb 2,766,822
gcc-3.3 1,570,284
dpkg-dev 166,800
libc6-dev 2,531,564
cpp-3.3 1,391,346
manpages-dev 1,081,408
flex 257,678
g++ 1,384 (Note: virtual package)
linux-kernel-headers 1,377,022
bin86 82,090
cpp 29,446
gcc 4,896 (Note: virtual package)
g++-3.3 1,778,880
bison 702,830
make 366,138
libstdc++5-3.3-dev 774,982
Some of those are not applications, but data that does not make sense to
install _unless_ you want the applications themselves (i.e. gcc and
libc6-dev )

PS: And if dpkg-deve is not also removed from 'standard' since it
"Recommends" a c-compiler default installation will also pull in all that
unnecessary stuff.
