The textures mentioned in the build report, include only metadata. The pixel data is actually stripped, meaning that the size for each one of those textures is around 100 - 200 Bytes. This is the expected behavior: Dedicated Server builds will preserve textures if they are referenced in the project, but it will strip its pixel data if those textures are imported with the `read/write` flag off.

How to reproduce:
1. Open the attached “TrueDedicatedServerTest.zip“ project
2. Open the “SampleScene“ Scene
3. Build the project for a Dedicated Server (File>Build Settings…)
4. Open the Editor log and search for “Uncompressed usage by category“ (~/Library/Logs/Unity/Editor.log)
Expected result: Textures are at 0%
Actual result: Textures are more than 0%
