I haven't checked, but the other arch that imediately came to my mind
when doing this was VAX, and the CD image (including debug sets) fits
just fine there.

Could you create a list of architectures where DVD is unlikely and CD image
does not fit?

We also should (as suggestes by mrg@) add secondary debug CD images for those
ports.
