Some other ideas
Regular Debian package from a "dummy" orig source. http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2007/06/msg00298.html
Per user package management. http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2007/06/msg00371.html
Script to download/update, unpack and index public databases http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/debian-med/trunk/community/infrastructure/getData/?rev=0&sc=0
For CDs / DVDs, move these data files to multi-arch http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2007/06/msg00317.html
Biggest space consumers
- Games data,
- Scientific data,
- -dbg packages.
