Getting rid of circular dependencies, stage 2

[Bill Allombert <allomber@math.u-bordeaux.fr>]

Dear Debian developers,

There are some developpement with the circular dependencies problems:

The GNOME team has reduced the number of circular dependencies in the
GNOME suite. Thanks!

Robert Lemmen has made a script that show the circular dependencies
in the 3 distribution and publishes the resut here:
<http://debian.semistable.com/debgraph.out.html>

Looking at the graph, there are a lot of dependencies that are not
warranted.  

Some example:
foo <--> foo-data: The foo-data --> foo deps is generally wrong.
foo1 --> foo-data, foo2 --> foo-data, foo-data --> foo1|foo2: 
The foo-data --> foo1|foo2 is generally wrong.

For example, suppose foo3 is released and depend on foo-data: this force
foo3 users to install foo1 or foo2!

Probably I should do a massive bug report ?

Some of the most beautiful dependencies graph:
