It will be interesting to see how much bigger the non-debug packages end up (due to the lack of handling for static libraries) as it will give a clue how bad that is on amd64 too.. I've discussed offlist with phessler, after the current bulk he's planning to give his a try with a local diff, and see how it goes before I commit anything.
