Trimming priority:standard
Meow!
What would you guys say about cutting some cruft from priority:standard?
The current list is:
apt-listchanges aptitude aptitude-common at bash-completion bc dc bind9-host
dnsutils host libbind9-90 libdns100 libisc95 liblwres90 bsd-mailx bzip2

I'd start with:
* dc: a RPN calculator is pretty esoteric, bc is for "normal people".
* db5.1-util: we're on db5.3, and I don't see much util here.
* m4: a really obscure language. Used basically only for autoconf scripts,
and that use is covered by autoconf's dependency.
* texinfo: 'info' should be enough for most uses.
* telnet: dead for 19 years. Used only by those who misspell 'nc' and hope
for no 0xff bytes.
* wamerican: what use is a wordlist with no users?
On the other hand, I'd nominate 'locales' for priority:important. Needed
for working UTF-8 support.
