You understand that the package 'kdeutils', which is what depends on kmilo, is just a metapackage, providing none of kde's functionality? You can apt-get install kde, apt-get remove kmilo (or just not use it - disabling it in the control center works fine here, but I don't have your brand laptop to test on) and not lose any of the other functionality of kde.

Package: kdelibs-bin Version: 4:3.3.1-4 Severity: wishlist Hello, I just noticed that I cannot get rid of perl-suid on my machine, and I would quite like to. It has a poor track record WRT security, and I don't fully trust everyone with access to the machine. It appears that only 2 scripts in kdelibs-bin are suid perl scripts, and they are not 'essential' parts of the package, at least IMHO. Would it be possible to relax the Depends: to a Recommends: ? Installing from aptitude or one of the other frontends wil still pull in Recommends, allowing the package to work, but would me allow me to uninstall perl-suid and still keep KDE.

I know we are all busy, and it would be nice if the submitter had done this for you, but bug triage is ultimately the maintainer's job. There is no point yelling at a user because they didn't do your job for you. I realize you are a volunteer, as am I, and I can't force you to do anything. But, if you are in the position of maintaining a package, these things are part of that position. Either do it or don't, but don't blame a user for it not getting done.
