Which brings up the question: Do we have some software in debian that
can create and burn BlueRay discs? AFAIUI, cdrkit/wodim is not.

My guess it will be 18 - 24 months before bluray discs will be worth 
worrying about.  Even then bluray disc(s) will take up about the same 
space as a CD set.

21GB on CD is 21GB on Bluray. Physical space isn't an issue for us.
