The binary package is still huge compared to what it could be, but
after 9 years, this is almost no more a problem thanks to larger
disks. This might still be annoying on devices such as smartphones,
though.

IMHO, unless this would require additional runtime dependencies, the
right solution would be to create the expanded files on the fly and
cache them (a bit like what ccache does for C/C++).
