There's also a much easier potential for triming the package size, as the livefs build's fdupes check shows:

(and some more further down)

it seems that a lot of those .ppd files are identical. The .deb should just ship them as symlinks to a master instead of duplicates. This can be done automatically with fdupes in debian/rules. (Like e. g. /usr/share/cdbs/1/rules/debhelper.mk, "symlink identical Gnome help files within packages")
