2000 is nothing compared to other entries we carry and is at least used
by some packages.

Does not matter because l10n will blow your exact metrics anyway. A game
that can't accomodate text shrinking or expanding a little has more
serious problems that font changes.

Anyway the whole argument stinks. Yes filelists make transactions
slower. However these particular file deps will only cause the file
lists to be pulled when one of the aforementionned badly coded marginaly
used games is installed or updated so
1. this won't happen for the vast majority of users or updates
2. the costs are paid by the users of the problem packages
3. a single font file at gzip -9 is already more than 300K so the
savings for a user that installs multiple games are not obvious
4. it's a tempest in a teacup
So I really don't see what's so terrible that requires making Hans
uglify its specs and reneging on our general modularization and
de-duplication packaging principles.
