if you say "don't break them all because we are in freeze" i second
you. but they *are* broken, they rely on something that severely changed
and then they should be fixed in next releases.

the day that i have to split foo-core should i make packages named
foo-core-core and foo-core-extra?

things break only if you are not installing what Recommends says.
