You are encouraged to help. I believe there is even a way to check this without a device, checking the source code? Instructions welcome if anybody knows how to.
I tried to check few packages randomly but they already are
  • checked and commented
  • are below 500KB (from the wiki) with their / usage

It would be nice to know which packages have already been checked so there isn't duplicate work to be done.

My method to check the package: Download DEB package. Open it with the GNOME's Archive Manager. Open data.tar.gz by clicking it. Go down by hierachy until you find out how much combined other directories than /opt are using (sum the size columns).
