Some might ask, Why not just one simple package?
That's where Devuan can bring packaging sanity in as well.
megabyte for example. Granted, this may not be the best example, but
it does illustrate I think the reasons for smaller multiple packages
VS. one big package.
NOT DEVUAN 1.0 ...
I agree. Debian accommodates the lean server install with just the binaries
and also allows selective documentation install and development and debugging
installs.
My principal complaint is with 'apt cache search' which is a low level tool that
doesn't expose any of the structure of the repository.
Many times I want to install a package I know the name of (approximately) and I
have to read or grep through hundreds of search results for related packages
that have nothing to do with installing (or even identifying by name) the
package I want, not to mention how complete the doc/devel/debug environment I
might like.
