its a system install DVD
Well, maybe I was not clear enough (English is a second language for me). I stated that the image is a "system install DVD". It is those big .dmg files you download from ADC. Apple's instructions are to burn them on a double layer DVD before you can install it (or use the cumbersome hard disk partition workaround).
When I inspected the image volume, it turns out that a very significant part of the used space is for the XCode installer packages, which I figured could be safely omitted from the installer DVD.
So in short, I copied an UNinstalled version of Leopard, omitting XCode.
Now I hope this was clearer.
