Please read all the logs from the fesco meetings where this feature was
approved. 

FESCo decided the benefit to always having mini-debuginfo
available outweighed the downside of increased space. 

I don't recall anyone saying "Make your image larger then, we don't
care". 

Your possible options are: 

a) target a larger size (which is what you have done?)

b) ask FESCo to reconsider, but you probibly want some kind of NEW data
for that, because without that it's just likely to end the same way. 

c) Drop some more stuff from the live to get it back under 700mb.
