Here it is for MSI: bug 124992. No idea about DMG.

> Mike, what do you think about this one?

I think it is absolutely unclear what specific difficulties the organization
may encounter. Errors? Precious megabytes consumed on disk? What?

I don't believe there's a real reason to insist that today's applications must
avoid inclusion of some information. It is OK to just install everything. It is
also OK to use the installer-provided mechanism to only install a specific
subset. But if the organization uses some custom procedure, what is the
rationale, and the reason for that, which justifies a huge maintenance burden
on the community of volunteers? (I'd expect organizations using FLOSS to
*suggest* their contributions, not to ask volunteers to increase burden to
support niche use cases.)
