Apart from the -cc2-dbgsym package those seem fine to multiply, especially since the intended users probably have lots of disk space. There is also the option of splitting the hwcap files into one package per ISA variant to keep each individual package small. -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

For example, the latest tensorflow packaging (in NEW queue) results in these binary debs: (thanks to Wookey, Michael, and Andreas for their work!) ~/Debian/tensorflow ls -lh *.deb 18:57:24 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 36M Jul 5 15:25 libtensorflow-cc2_2.3.1-1_amd64.deb -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1.7G Jul 5 15:25 libtensorflow-cc2-dbgsym_2.3.1-1_amd64.deb -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 629K Jul 5 15:25 libtensorflow-dev_2.3.1-1_amd64.deb -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5.6M Jul 5 15:25 libtensorflow-framework2_2.3.1-1_amd64.deb -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 128M Jul 5 15:25 libtensorflow-framework2-dbgsym_2.3.1-1_amd64.deb Supporting multiple ISA variants based on ld.so means a multiple of the current package size.
