I have a question: what exactly is in the archive?  Why is that that
deactivate does not archive what was installed on the disk?  I mean,
if the archives is exactly what is deployed, then it's pure duplication,
including in an activate/deactivate scenario: one copy should be enough,
be it deployed, or compressed, no?  Maybe that would be less invasive,
I don't know.

Also, do people really use deactivate/activate offline?
