Well, remember he's on a much more restrictive environment, being on the XO-1.

In terms of stamps, we could suggest installing only certain categories,
but that really doesn't cover "high quality" (high rez, good photo or
art quality) versus "lower quality" (low rez, bad photo, not the best art,
etc.)

Are the Ubuntu folks against simply having separate stamp packages based
on the various Makefile targets?  Shin-Ichi has been building separate
RPM packages for stamps, based on that.

Therefore, not "default" and "other", but separate packages for
the whole gamut:  animals, vehicles, hobbies, seasonal, etc...

Maybe I'll go see if I can suggest that in that bug. :)
