      Ends up there is a large locale-archive file in /usr/lib/locale/locale-archive and /usr/lib/locale/locale-archive.real (200M)
      Removing it will break the i18n support in the installer, but we should see how much space is saved by removal to see if it is worth the effort to figure out how to remove it and not break i18n.
      3 things to count

      • How big is the install.img now
      • How big is the install.img without it, using current squashfs compression
      • How big is the install.img without it, using proposed erofs and zstd compression
