Note that there's absolutely no reason to download all of the CD's. Trying
to distribute the entire Debian archive - even for a single architecture -
on hard media is very close to pointless.
You don't need it for installation; and after that, everything is available
via your local mirror. I personally use a 180MB ISO for installs.
The available packages for Debian don't indicate bloat. They indicate a very
large, distributed developer base and a lot of hard work.
