--- addendum ---

The xpi size seems (to me) to be related with the way used to compress the
jar files...

The script seems to use a zip compression (I do not know which level of
compression).

I used the Java OpenJDK jar command (zip/bzip - again I do not know which
level of compression) to unpack/pack the jar file.
