I think it won't make any difference -- there's basically no connection
between different categories in a single archive (and to the best of my
knowledge even between different branches or versions in the same
archive).  The only issue as far as I can see is the size of the
archive, which given modern disk sizes, only seems to be a problem for
mirroring.
