Motivation for this change

Minimal ISO:

1m21 -> 2m25
625M -> 617M

Plasma5 ISO:
2m45 -> 5m18
1.4G -> 1.3G

Decompression speed stays about the same. It's just a few seconds for the whole
image anyways and, with that kind of speed, you're going to be bottlenecked by
IO long before the CPU.

Things done
  • Tested using sandboxing (nix.useSandbox on NixOS, or option sandbox in nix.conf on non-NixOS linux)
  • Built on platform(s)
    • NixOS
    • macOS
    • other Linux distributions
  • Tested via one or more NixOS test(s) if existing and applicable for the change (look inside nixos/tests)
  • Tested compilation of all pkgs that depend on this change using nix-shell -p nixpkgs-review --run "nixpkgs-review wip"
  • Tested execution of all binary files (usually in ./result/bin/)
  • Determined the impact on package closure size (by running nix path-info -S before and after)
  • Ensured that relevant documentation is up to date
  • Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.
