The newly released (2.0.692) .deb package seems broken

It shows as 940 bytes.

Perhaps it's a regression of #638

I did a quick analysis and I could not find anything useful.

Hey @felipecrs - thanks for digging in here. This is not actually a regression from #638 but rather from #630. I haven't been able to root cause what part of that change caused the .deb issue, but I did check out the commit before that series and was able to build with a more normal output package size of 102 MB.

I wonder whether the root cause lies in here:

I spotted this as well on Friday but didn't think that path would affect the size of the generated package. But let me test it out to see!
