Package: libgtk2.0-dev
Version: 2.6.1-2
Severity: minor

With the libgtk2.0-dev 2.4.14-2 i386 package the Installed-Size field =
reads
"8172". With the new libgtk2.0-dev 2.4.6-1 i386 package it reads =
"35168".
That means the new package is more than four times the size of the old =
one.

The main difference appears to be in the amount of strippable =
information
in the object files. I don't know if this really is a bug, and if it is =
it
could equally well be in the 2.4 packages, but it did strike me as odd.

Sincerely,
