Jigdo does not support the composition of new images.
The .template file inflates to the size of the ISO image for which it
was produced. This inflated file contains holes into which jigdo-lite
inserts .deb packages which it downloads according to the .jigdo file.

Another idea to get a smaller XFCE capable image:

One could use the "modifying" use case of xorriso to strip down a
DVD sized image by removing packages which will surely not be needed.

  xorriso -indev debian-11.0.0-amd64-DVD-1.iso \
          -outdev my_new_debian_11.iso \
          -rm ...paths.in.the.ISO... -- \
          -boot_image any replay

(Note that this time it is "replay" not "keep" with the -boot_image
command. "keep" works only with multi-session, which always enlarges ISOs
even if files get removed/hidden.)

Above method would avoid the need to download dozens of .deb files which
are needed for XFCE. But it imposes the need to download a whole DVD sized
image.


Have a nice day :)

Thomas
