Frustrating. Again a lot of low-percentage growth, but what is really
killing us is the new packages that keep getting pulled in:

new package OpenEXR-libs: 823896
new package libv4l: 170205
new package gegl: 2161070
new package sane-backends-libs: 6404932

new package WebKit-gtk: 12024292
new package ilmbase: 408114
new package freeglut: 428017
new package lzma: 207155

new package libieee1284: 69512
new package ggz-client-libs: 614106
new package yelp: 3333760

I assume a good chunk of these is because we need to reinstate the removal of gnome-games and yelp, but there
some which are not explainable that way. E.g the new gimp now pulls in WebKit-gtk.
