I've been playing with the compression in order to make my debs smaller. I add
the following to my debian/rules file
override_dh_builddeb:
dh_builddeb -- -Zlzma -z9
This dropped a package from 3GB using the default settings to 1.9 GB using lzma
-z 9.
It also looks as if this may have been fixed in Oneiric. The Debian bug
report indicates that apt 0.8.16~exp3 contains the fix, which is the
current version in Oneiric. I was unable to test this because the
Oneiric installer crashes during install in my virtual box VM.
