Is there a plan to add some form of CI to monitor this? It would make
it easy to monitor ups/downs over time and pick up mistakes that bloat
deps by accident.
I think such CI runs would be very useful even for other
"classical" deliverables.
If the live image/netinst image/DVD image/installation initrd/etc. suddenly grows in size
by say 20+ %, this is
something that should trigger warnings & should be investigated.
