further removal suggestions
Hi,
a next round of removal suggestions. I'm fairly certain that the
removal suggestion on kdebase will not be taken (and I wouldn't put it
in a file if I could directly enter hints), and also the hint on
libdvdnav is doubtable. Also, please note, that, as always, my removal
suggestions are rather aggressive.
Something about the format: During the time, I became tired of writing
"no dependencies". There is - starting with pbbuttonsd - just a second
line with more removal suggestions (then there are binary
dependencies), or not (in which case there are none). If this is ok, I
tend to keep this in future.
Cheers,
Andi
