After a month worth of holidays, I return to my computer, sync, and

Scrolling through the several screen's worth of stuff I find a few
'redundant' packages, like Mozilla and Epiphany (I use Firefox).
I use gnome, so I've always wounded up with these two packages on my
system. All things considered, compiling these two is a waste of
space, bandwidth, time and electricity.
How do I block these two from being compiled, despite the fact that
they are listed as 'dependancies' in packages I use?
Instead of using Gnome, try using the gnome-light package. It comes
wihtout the large dependancies that the normal gnome does, but you have
to remmeber to install any extras that you might need (file-roller,
games, tools etc)
