v1.2.0.11 deb package install size

[wwuck]

After upgrading linuxfabrik-monitoring-plugins package on a debian 12 machine from 2024060401-1 to 1.2.0.11-1 I noticed the package install size has blown out by almost 900%. Is there anything that can be done to reduce this?

Old version 2024060401-1:
APT reports Installed-Size: 406 MB.
Plugin directory size is 421M.

Reducing size would be great as it's an absolute no go for systems like raspberry pi (used for digital signage), where the storage is very limited. Currently I have to deploy the python version, which is a lot smaller.

Yes, the size of the compiled plugins bothers us too. Since I'm working on the next version anyway, I'll take a look at that as well.
