Do you propose that we would provide Live and alternate images in this
size?  IIRC for oneiric we shipped:

Live CD
Alternate CD
DVD

CDs for i386, amd64, and powerpc (although power pc wasn't ultimately
released).

DVD was just i386 and amd64

armel had it's own pre-installed images.

We also had two metapackages: kubuntu-desktop and kubuntu-full

The traditional DVD is roughly twice as much QA (ISO testing) and the CD
images.

Are you proposing we do:

1.5 GB USB Live
1.5 GB USB Alternate
700 MB CD Live
700 MB CD Alternate

We'd need to figure out what to do with kubuntu-full.  Addition of a
larger metapackage seemed to be a popular feature.  Perhaps it should
move to Universe to it can include digikam and not be tied to an image
at all.
