Can you believe the .debs were 1/3 cache files all along. Right under everybody's noses. I've saved everybody many many megabytes with this report.

Research direction
The report names the quarto package, release version 1.9.37, and /cache/ files in its .debs, but no repository file, test, or entry point. Start by reproducing the package file listing and identify how those files enter the release artifacts; done means the unintended cache files are excluded and package contents can be verified.
