Package: kdelibs4c2a
Version: 4:3.5.10.dfsg.1-0lenny3
Severity: normal

The majority of KDE packages do not require libarts or the arts sound system. Depending on them is unnecessary for the kdelibs package; if a specific KDE program requires libarts, it should have a separate dependency.
libarts1c2a also automatically starts artsd as a system daemon, which is inappropriate for a 'lib' package. Advise as to whether I should file that as a separate bug against libarts1c2a. 

end result to user: install simple program (i.e kate), find artsd always running. this discourages users interested in control over their own boxes from using KDE packages. 

Thanks,

William Hopkins

I'm closing this bug since KDE 3 is not supported anymore and KDE SC 4.x 
doesn't need arts.
