*maybe*. We had some of this discussion before sarge released, when
there was a chance that we might make sarge fit on a single DL

Part of this discussion concerned the cost of DL media vs single
layer.At the time DL was about $8/disk while compared to maybe
$1.00/disk for SL, not a good value, imho. The economics may have
changed.

Yup, good point. We've just moved the regular builds to a new host
that should give us much reduced CD/DVD build times, and therefore
make it easier to add DL-DVDs as a build option. However, we'll
struggle to have the space to make full ISOs available for yet another
(admittedly minority) format so if we do start building them there
will probably only be jigdo files available.
