What is the rationale behind this request (in general just saving 450 kb is IMO not a compelling argument to create a new package)? We usually don't build a dozen binary packages of the same source just to fulfill all user wishes of possible library combinations. Will this be useful for more users than just you or saying it in other words: why don't you build and use this variant locally?
