Hoo boy! The image file for the "Final" version is substantially larger than the previous one.
This is despite the fact I'm not installing Abiword (we've got it for Maemo now), nor CUPS printing (printing from the tablet always struck me as a circus trick). I'm not sure what exactly is making it so much larger, but I suspect the fact I'm using the "real" open Java JDK (instead of gcj), as well as the much nicer (and, it would seem, much bigger) JXDE LXDE window manager instead of IceWM. I am also including Gimp, since that seems to be the most-installed app in Debian.

Well, when I release the new version, you can continue to use the older, smaller image, or you can use the new image, it will be up to you. I think the improvements in the new packages will be worth it.
