Upgrading libdbi-ocaml-dev in unstable brings in lots and lots of packages ...



This is on a machine which is pretty much running Debian stable right
now, but has been "apt-pinned" for testing and unstable.

... So ...

Seems fair enough.

Hmmm ... a bit strange that it wants tcl and tk installed.  Why would
libdbi-ocaml depend on ocaml-base?

But this is the really scary one ...

Why does it want so much of X (this is a server)?  Why is postgres
going to be removed!!
