Right now, kicad-meta includes everything kicad and the kitchen sink. While this is nice, and provides you with a complete kicad install, the packages3d package is arguably the least necessary of the bunch, while pulling the most dependencies (through the oce/occ flags) and being the biggest one (clocking in at a whopping 4.8GB as reported for the archlinux package, kicad-library-3d). To provide a "complete" set of packages that fulfill most user's needs I suggest adding a USE flag to kicad-meta, that disables/enables this part of the toolkit as per the user's request.
