Package: texpower Version: 2011.20120509-1 texpower, in testing, has an installed size of 387 KB. If you look at command lines below, to upgrade to the new texpower is going to take over 450 MB. I was considering making this wishlist, but this 1000x fold increase in effective size takes a program that took negligible space on my HD and makes it one that's hard to justify installing. (A lot can be said about hard drive spaces and poor choices for root partition sizes, but a half a gigabyte is still a big deal in some cases.) It has a major effect on the usability of the program for some people.
