If I may, the "Recommends installed by default" scenario doesn't really apply here, as the goal here is to remove some dependencies that you don't want to have, because you want a smaller system. So what you are asking for is having even MORE packages installed when we want LESS. Thomas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
