Is fdutils really a base package? (Despite being section: base
it has priority: optional.) I wouldn't have used any of those
tools in a year or more myself. Does it need to stay in base?
Optional or maybe even extra would seem more appropriate.

There's an LDAP server in base? It has priority extra.
My sid system seems to be working perfectly without it.

What's this doing in base? I just purged it here without
issue (nothing else seems to depend on it).
Standard...

Seems like a good candidate for base -- no doubt it has more use
than fdutils.
