I didn't want to change your decision[1]. As every non-trivial decision,
building an installer and chosing its content is a compromise. As long
as people are aware of what they are actually chosing, that's okay with
me.
[1] Given that I'm uploading a 100+ MB package with only debug symbols
for Octave with every Debian package of it, that would be hypocritical -
summed over all architectures and mirrors, I'm probably generating 100
GB traffic with each upload myself (10 architectures, ~100 mirrors).
