Dear Maintainer,

The daedalus 'server' (CD1) installer ISO images are too large for
typical 700MB-capacity CDs:

+----------------------------------------+------------------+------+
| devuan_daedalus_5.0.1_i386_server.iso  | 2023-09-14 08:30 | 779M |
| devuan_daedalus_5.0.1_amd64_server.iso | 2023-09-14 08:22 | 760M |
+----------------------------------------+------------------+------+

This prevents air-gapped installation on machines lacking DVD drives or
USB booting capabililty.

The equivalent installers for chimaera do not suffer from this problem:

+----------------------------------------+------------------+------+
| devuan_chimaera_4.0.0_i386_server.iso  | 2021-10-12 11:02 | 691M |
| devuan_chimaera_4.0.0_amd64_server.iso | 2021-10-12 10:58 | 642M |
+----------------------------------------+------------------+------+

As an example, the i386 'server' ISO has grown by 69MB, including
62MB from the debian package archive.

Could we identify some packages to move from CD1 to CD2, which has
110MB of spare space?

Thanks,
Andrew
