Splitting a package

[Alberto Gonzalez Iniesta <agi@agi.as>]

Hi all,

I'd like to know if this justifies splitting a package. AFAIK the
size or the existence of shared libs justify splitting a package, but
not this.

I've got a package that contains a command line program and a couple of
front-ends (motif and KDE) for it. This makes neccessary to install 
lots of KDE libs even if you're only using the command line program.

Would all this Depends justify splitting it into the command line
package and the front-ends one?

Thanks in advance.
