micro SD cards -- actual size vs. claims

I'd assumed that the larger images had more software packages.

You're suggesting that the only difference between 8 / 16 / 32 / 64GB images is the amount of partitioned, unused space. The software is identical. So, on a 32GB card, installing an 8GB image would leave ~24GB of unallocated space.

In that case, why even bother having multiple image sizes? Just install a small image, and run the script (or use GParted, etc.).
