Andrej,
if you are fixing this problem, I have another question: before packaging,
did you stripped bynaries to remove the debug symbols, since they are
useless for normal users?
By comparing file sizes, maxima + wxmaxima + gcl + gnuplot packages for
linux, if stripped, have a size of about 16 Mb. Even considering that
windows packages also ship wxmaxima, gcl and gnuplot, and dependencies and
libraries not included in linux packages, 30 Mb aren't too much?
