Thanks for the quick response.

I think you look more at the archive side, than the user side. Why does
a user have to download and install the package he might not ever use
(unless he builds Debian packages).

I ran a search on the Debian archive, to find small ( < 20 KB) packages
and found 6,018 of them (java-gcj-compat sounds familiar?). Please don't
give me package size as a reason to close my bug. Since packages is
about functionality and not about size.

Anyway, I think a 'wontfix' tag would be more appropriate than closing
the bug. Other people might also be interested in this.
