Yeah.
It's 2.3MB of javascript and images. It seems fine to have in the main
package from all I can see.
I agree with Martin - it does not belong to -devel package - it's completely
wrong but I tend more to put it to subpackage. It's webdevelopers tool, most
users are not interested in. And as for example Midora is user as lightweight
browser on smaller devices, I'm not sure shipping bigger package makes sense +
does any WebKit browser reflect Inspector installed in UI?
