I made a (form my POV)Â bigger change to how MariaDB is packed, and I would be grateful for any feedback.
I separated all the non-essential utilities to a standalone sub-package "server-utils". It should be installed automaticly with the "server" package as a weak dendency, so regular user should not spot any change.
For example, if you don't need Perl with your server, you can save about 20MB of the space with this update.
