Also it is an example of ridiculously large source packages, which
create other problems by themself like the amount of bandwidth wasted
when one has to apply a one-line fix, in particular for security updates.
Why not considering splitting those source packages? IIRC, this is
planned for the X11 source packages. This seems a better option overall.
