One option would be a script that split them between the two CDs
	at generation time and duplicated appropriate DEPENDed packages so
	it all Just Worked. Wasteful of space, and will only scale to a
	certain point. Nice toy though :)

	Hmm - is there anyway to do some magic with afs and a symlink
	tree?
