Those gadgets do not take other resources than disk space as long as you do not use them. You can remove them because plasma-scriptengines (which is only a metapackage) is not Depends in the KDE dependency chain. I don't see a problem here. What's more, this is not a place for emotions about company X. Support for those gadgets is part of official KDE workspace package, you like it or not. So in my opinion, recommends is pretty reasonable relationship in this case. > plasma-scriptengines may RECOMMEND Google packages but they should not be > automatically installed as a part of the kdebase. plasma-scriptengines is already only recommended by KDE-essential kdebase- workspace-bin as you posted below. P.S. kdebase metapackage is going to die as soon as squeeze is released. > I'm not even sure how I ended up with Google packages, I don't remember > installing any recommended packages at all: Recommends are installed by default.
