Bug#464586: n/a, really

["Richard Hartmann" <richih.mailinglist@gmail.com>]

Thanks for the retitle. I re-sent the report after messing up my first
submit, screwing up the topic, in turn.

Catching all those reports in one place sounds like a good idea. An
overview of how bad this is could help.

But if you can not resolve those dependencies without one large
package, that is the way to go. Leaving people with broken depends
on purpose is not an option :/

That being said, what might help is to split them into smaller packages.
Those would be more work to untangle, but it would probably result in
smaller footprints. In that case, you would need to provide
meta-packages that encompass the larger collections, though.
