Well, I could split the dav ucp out to a -webdav but that would really be overkill. Analogous for gstreamer (which already was asked on a bugreport - #386936), it would be possible to split that component out but then people will wonder why their audio stuff do not work.. Unless they install that package Or I make it a dependency of openoffice.org then (also -neon) and the point would be moot for people just apt-get install'ing openoffice.org. And both libraries neither are big nor do they have much redepends. neon: libneon26 -> libc6, libcomerr2, libkrb53, libssl0.9.8, libxml2, zlib1g libgstreamer0.10-0: libc6, libglib2.0-0, libxml2 libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-0: libc6, libglib2.0-0, libgstreamer0.10-0, libxml2 libc6 is essential, libcomerr2 is required and on every system, too (e2fsprogs). Same with zlib1g (zlib). libkrb53 is small and only depends on libc6 and libcomerr2. libssl is a bit bigger (but also not big) and depends on libc6, libcomerr2 and also zlib1g (see above). And you rprobably have it on your system anyway because of other SSL-using apps. libxml2 is used by OOo anyway. libglib2.0-0, too (by ooqstart). And you probably also have it on your system by other libxml2/glib-using apps. Gr�gards, Ren�- .''`.
