There are three strategies for solving this: - Clean up recommends in Debian packages, to avoid installing so many packages. An example of such issue is fluid-soundfont-gm recommending fluid-soundfont-gs, while we only want to install one of them. - Change how we install packages, asking tasksel and other parts of d-i to not install recommended packages. I believe this is straight forward, but then we do not get the recommended packages we might want to have installed. - Extend partition sizes to make room for the extra packages, which will increase the disk space requirement and make it harder for us testing the installation in virtual machines (I do not have more space to spend on the virtual disk. :). I suggest we try to implement them in that order, and see how far we get by asking for recommended packages to be changed to suggests where it make sense before we decide if we should drop recommended packages during installation or extend the default partition sizes. I suspect changing a few huge packages might be enough (the sound fonts packages are enormous. :).
