Quoting neuron <vlmarek AT volny.cz>:
The only file where I am using ARCHIVE=off is openoffice-bin. Too big,
too long to bzip the archive. Otherwise I'm not using it at all.

For some (e.g. openoffice-bin) it seems to take longer to make the
archive than it did to install it (I haven't timed it, so it could be
less time, but it close to doubles the time to install, IMO). However,
the request was (originally) only to limit the use of ARCHIVE=off and
leave it up to the user, not remove it completely, AFAIK.
