I see. Well I guess either I just uninstall it then or make a dummy
package to fulfill the "dependency".
Still, it's kind of a pity that more and more packages enforce
installation of further packages even though they're not really needed
(and often so, not even for core functionality). I mean it doesn't
always have to have consequences like with XZ, but may still be
annoying.
