Indeed, it is. Impossible, in fact. Ubiquity and the live system use a
compressed filesystem to install (a "squashfs") which takes up a large
portion of the space on the CD.
The alternate CD is full of actual .deb's -- the archives for
installing. We can not fit both on the CD, which means we can't offer a
simple keypress to do so.
The DVD, on the other hand is large enough to fit both, but weighs in at
4.7GiB, rather than 750MiB.
