boot-profile generates 3x larger than normal squashfs sort file

When preparing Tails 1.1.2 I followed the usual instructions for generating the squashfs sort file but the resulting file became three times larger (in terms of entries) than the previous one. A quick look reveals that files related to e.g. scribus and libreoffice are touched, which doesn’t make sense. See attached file.

For what it’s worth, for an overview of the additional files touched, I did this:

diff -NaurB \
    <( cut -d' ' -f1 config/binary_rootfs/squashfs.sort | sort ) \
    <( cut -d' ' -f1 /tmp/boot-profile | sort )  \
    | less
