Package: freedom-maker
Severity: minor

the images for beaglebone (tested with latest daily
freedombox-unstable-free_daily_beaglebone-armhf.img.xz, timestamped
2016-05-27) are unpacked exactly 4gb in size.

in order to flash them directly onto the builtin eMMC (eg. using
BBBlfs), they should be smaller -- `lsblk -b` on the running system
reports mmcblk1 to be 386148288 bytes long. (the device is advertised as
4gb, which i'd figure would even mean 4*1024^3 bytes; i have no idea
about where the missing bytes are, but at least BBBlfs and the running
freedombox seem to agree on the size. there are some
/dev/mmcblk1boot[01] devices around which i can't make heads and tails
of, but they appear much smaller.)

as a workaround, i flashed the image, edited the partition table to fit,
and then resized the btrfs (which to my surprise just worked and did not
report errors on the subsequent scrub), but that's something i'd prefer
not to rely on.

please consider reducing the image size; even with the decreased size,
there's plenty of headroom in the image.
