Wait, I have a better idea: why not split all the gdk-pixbuf loaders in separate packages? Packages using PNG themes or icons would only need to depend on libgdkpixbuf-loader-png, while packages using XPM icons would only need libgdkpixbuf-loader-xpm and packages using JPEG backgrounds would require libgtkpixbuf-loader-jpeg. This would save a few kilobytes on the hard disk drives of users wanting to install libgtk2.0-0 without installing any application that depends on it. To make things less sarcastic: more and more themes or backgrounds are using SVG files. Applications using GTK2 don't really *need* librsvg2-common, but it should nevertheless be installed every time libgtk2.0-0 is installed, so that the SVG format is always supported. However that would introduce a circular dependency between gtk+2.0 and librsvg2, which would be even worse. -- .''`.
