It's not a rocket science.

Now, amongst first thing to do after downloading every version, is to rm plethora of absolutely unnecessary (for me) midlets, desktop shortcuts (+ wait until Catorise update database), etc. Quite inconvenient.

I agree that including some debugging tools - like midlet Demo or Location, or general-purpose thing like Opera Mini can bring benefits, but some closed source unknown browser, or thing like eBuddy? everyone can "install" it on her/his own, IMO.

I agree. I am also a bit reluctant to just add these applications (as
I don't use them myself).

I plan (if time permits) to write an easy to use front-end to create
these shortcuts, and then get rid of most midlets currently shipped
with the package. There is already a script called excalibur.sh to
do that, but it lacks a graphical front-end.

However, a quicker intermediate solution could be to create
another package with the midlet examples, which you can then
install if you want to.
