How much bloat?  Opkg already trips the OOM killer on the NSLU2 (32MB of
RAM) when it loads the current Packages file and then tries to do
something; we can work around it for now, but if this doubles the size
in-memory, we may simply not have enough RAM to do whatever it is that
opkg does with all that in-memory.

I have grave concerns over anything that adds unnecessary entries that
cannot be turned off.
