- **Not taking too much disk space**
The size of resulting package should be less than 100 MiB.
Since software is being compiled for 4 CPU architectures (aarch64, arm,
i686, x86_64), effective disk usage is 4 times bigger than size of single
.deb file. We are limited on disk space and prefer many small packages
over one big.
Exceptions are made on individual basis and only for packages providing
important functionality.
