Pseudo-essential packages are going to be a problem though.
What if a (hypothetical, of course!) package maintainer of
an essential package suddenly decides they need to depend
on, oh I know, say, ucf? Of course, this situation is purely
hypothetical, and ucf would never suddenly become pseudo-
essential.

(Who *is* the authority telling people off for making other
packages pseudo-essential, anyway? I’ve seen it thrice at
least already; luckily it was reverted for the instance when
someone pulled in the (full) perl package.)
