As you point out, the default set - or half the default set - takes up a
fair bit of room.  My inclination would be to go with the two I
suggested and provide clear (step by step) instructions as to how to
install other grades.

Hmm... would it be possible to have the extra grades as separate debian
packages that could be installed as needed?
