Rodrigo,

How, exactly, would one do this? Arbitrarily throw stuff out of a package 
until it fit some arbitrary size threshold?

Anyway, there are very few packages that exceed your criteria:

% find -size +10240k
./emacs/emacs-21.2-8-src.tar.bz2
./gcc/gcc-3.2-1-src.tar.bz2
./gdb/gdb-20010428-3-src.tar.bz2
./tetex/tetex-20020911-1-src.tar.bz2
./tetex/tetex-base/tetex-base-20020911-1.tar.bz2
./tetex/tetex-doc/tetex-doc-20020911-1.tar.bz2
./XFree86/XFree86-f100/XFree86-f100-4.2.0-2.tar.bz2
./XFree86/XFree86-fnts/XFree86-fnts-4.2.0-2.tar.bz2


Here's the 5 megabyte threshold list:

% find -size +5120k
./binutils/binutils-20020706-2-src.tar.bz2
./emacs/emacs-21.2-8-src.tar.bz2
./emacs/emacs-21.2-8.tar.bz2
./gcc/gcc-3.2-1-src.tar.bz2
./gcc/gcc-3.2-1.tar.bz2
./gcc2/gcc2-2.95.3-10-src.tar.bz2
./gdb/gdb-20010428-3-src.tar.bz2
./ghostscript/ghostscript-7.05-2-src.tar.bz2
./lilypond/lilypond-doc/lilypond-doc-1.6.5-1.tar.bz2
./perl/perl-5.6.1-2-src.tar.bz2
./perl/perl-5.6.1-2.tar.bz2
./postgresql/postgresql-7.2.3-1-src.tar.bz2
./python/python-2.2.1-1-src.tar.bz2
./tcltk/tcltk-20001125-1-src.tar.gz
./tetex/tetex-20020911-1-src.tar.bz2
./tetex/tetex-base/tetex-base-20020911-1.tar.bz2
./tetex/tetex-bin/tetex-bin-20020911-1-src.tar.bz2
./tetex/tetex-doc/tetex-doc-20020911-1.tar.bz2
./tetex/tetex-extra/tetex-extra-20020911-1.tar.bz2
./XFree86/lesstif/lesstif-0.93.18-3.tar.bz2
./XFree86/XFree86-bin/XFree86-bin-4.2.0-2.tar.bz2
./XFree86/XFree86-f100/XFree86-f100-4.2.0-2.tar.bz2
./XFree86/XFree86-fnts/XFree86-fnts-4.2.0-2.tar.bz2


Note that several of these are source packages.
