The change in format of the tarball also means that the rootfs tarballs will appear to be larger. Don't panic. Once installed with linaro-media-create the installed image sizes are close to what they were in natty. The reason for the extra size is live-build is putting a copy of all the installed .debs into the tarball.

Is inclusion of .debs a wanted feature or a side-effect from the new live-build version? What's the expected average growth in size of the download artifacts?
