I also tried that and could not duplicate the problem.

That's not true either. As the former maintainer of a package that did
have such a list[1], I know it when I see it :-) Did you realize that
liblua40 is 96KB installed; libgpmg1 is 100KB installed; liblualib40 is
72KB installed; and the other packages are likely to be on the system
already? (xlibs can be eliminated.) The extr dependencies, therefore,
total less than 300KB disk usage. In fact, the installed size of elinks
plus the installed size of those extra deps is less than the installed
size of just the lynx package itself.
I really have no idea what you are trying to say here.
