More than splitting the package, I would rather like to have a sane 
compression applied to it
as I mentioned previously:
359M oxygen-icons-4.8.0.tar.bz2
203M oxygen-icons-4.8.0.tar.xz

using xz -9 cuts of "just" 156M for me. Such a huge tarball is a bit of 
a pain to handle, even if I agree with Sune that having all icons in one 
place is handy.
