You didn't read my relpy to dman, did you? This is precisely what I'm talking about: "a small glitch somewehre in the dependency tree (OK, so it's in debhelper, actually) will result in installing 10GB of packages you don't need (OK, so it's "only" xutils, xf86-common and a few libraries those depend on) ..." Tell me, o wise one, will apt auto-deinstall all that crap now that the bug is fixed?
