Excessive disk usage for ocaml



Hi,

I went to install ocaml on my Zaurus to play with during an upcoming
trip.  apt-get install ocaml grabbed this:

Recommended packages:
  libft-perl c-compiler ledit xterm x-terminal-emulator
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  defoma file fontconfig libc6-dev libdb4.0 libexpat1 libfontconfig1
  libfreetype6 libice6 libmagic1 libncurses5-dev libnewt0.51 libsm6 libx11-6
  libxext6 libxft1 libxi6 libxmu6 libxmuu1 libxp6 libxpm4 libxrandr2
  libxrender1 libxt6 libxtrap6 libxtst6 linux-kernel-headers ocaml ocaml-base
  perl perl-modules tcl8.4 tk8.4 ttf-bitstream-vera whiptail xfree86-common
  xlibs xlibs-data
0 upgraded, 38 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 26.7MB of archives.
After unpacking 105MB of additional disk space will be used.

I think the following packages have no need here:

  defoma file fontconfig libc6-dev libexpat1 libfontconfig1
  libfreetype6 libice6 libmagic1 libncurses5-dev libnewt0.51 libsm6 libx11-6
  libxext1 libxft1 libxi6 libxmu6 libxmuu1 libxp6 libxpm4 libxrandr2
  libxrender1 libxt6 libxtrap6 libxtst6 linux-kernel-headers
  perl perl-modules tcl8.4 tk8.4 ttf-bitstream-vera whiptail xfree86-common
  xlibs xlibs-data

Now, why should I need all that just to compile hello world?
