https://phabricator.kde.org/D12283 Would already save about 100mb of disk space
per installation.
The issue was the ram usage increased drastically.
But overall compressed dict's would be great.

We still use the blacklist approach and for many paackages we install too many
icons etc.
For example we use .rcc's for icon themes, and the uncompressed icons aren't
used at all, still many packages don't blacklist them.

So it depends on the maintainer to improve the installation size.
