[desktop-lite] 11 GB Codespace when build on top of image universal:latest

[vangeest]

When the desktop-lite feature is used with the latest universal image, it results in ten times more storage for a Codespace.

See the following three examples that I tested

"image": "mcr.microsoft.com/devcontainers/universal:latest",
no features
=> Codespace storage 1 GB

"image": "mcr.microsoft.com/devcontainers/universal:latest",
"features": { "ghcr.io/devcontainers/features/desktop-lite:1":
=> Codespace storage 11 GB

"image": "mcr.microsoft.com/devcontainers/universal:2-linux",
"features": { "ghcr.io/devcontainers/features/desktop-lite:1":
=> Codespace storage 1.5 GB

I have no clue about the reason for this.
It would be nice if the desktop-lite feature would increase the codespace storage with less than 1 GB instead of 10 GB.

Hello @vangeest

This appears to be an issue with GitHub codespaces. Would you kindly create the issue for codespaces.
