You're more right than you realise - the new Mono stack brings with it
some major transitions within pkg-mono - the upshot of which will be a
10-20 MiB saving on the Jaunty liveCD. See
http://wiki.debian.org/Teams/DebianMonoGroup/Mono20Transition for
details, incl details on packaging alterations required for the new
structure.

About a hundred source packages will need to be altered. We're going to
take care of it as best as we can within pkg-mono, into Experimental.
Assuming NEW takes less than a hundred years, which isn't always
guaranteed
