Disk spece requirements of AT features

On this wiki page: 
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuExpress/GnomeUserInterface/Accessibility
mpt points out that it's unrealistic to ask users to install AT features 
on a Live CD system before running Ubuntu Express. That's a good point, 
so if those features are to be of any use, they need to be installed by 
default. There is of course space limitations on the live CD, so any new 
inclusions must be well justified, starting with the disk space requirement.

What's the best way of figuring that out for these packages?

This page http://packages.ubuntu.com/breezy/gnome/gok gives the package 
size for gok, but what about it's dependencies? How many of these are 
not installed by default and how much extra space would really be needed?

It seems slightly easier to figure out for 
http://packages.ubuntu.com/breezy/gnome/gnome-accessibility-themes 
though 4.5 MB is a fair chunk to ask to be included. (is this package 
indeed to fat? should we work to get it trimmed down and included by 
default?)

Should we set up a prioritized list of of packages we would like to 
lobby for inclusion of?
