Public bug reported:

I'm trying to work out how to get the puredyne CD down to CD size, and I
noticed that "racket-common" has by far the biggest installed size out
of all packages included. (Almost twice as big as linux-image-*!)

Fluxus depends on "racket" which depends on "racket-common".

According to the racket description, it "includes the DrRacket programming environment, a virtual machine with a just-in-time compiler, tools for creating stand-alone executables, the PLT Scheme web server, extensive libraries, documentation for both beginners and experts, and more. "
I don't have any idea which of these components are needed by fluxus!
I imagine it might be possible to have a trimmed-down version (e.g. in the puredyne PPA there could be "racket-tiny" and fluxus could depend on "racket | racket-tiny").

But in the short term, unless anyone with fluxus or racket expertise is
willing to take this on (not a trivial job), I suspect we'll have to
make fluxus a DVD-only inclusion...?
