Why do you care that much about the size? These days most people are
using USB sticks anyway. And blank DVD-R media costs no more than
CD-R if you do need optical.

The biggest thing that has made Debian media grow in the last couple
of releases is the addition of non-free-firmware. If you're *100%*
sure you don't need that, then build without it.
